Objectives and Contextualisation

It is about showing different aspects of security from the point of view of administrative intervention, whether regulated or self-regulated, in order to prevent risks or dangers to achieve comprehensive prevention. Sectors are chosen as the address, the public domain, the workplace, public and private transport, the hotel trade, etc. and the regulations, legal instruments and obligations of citizens are analyzed so that our specialists in prevention are prepared to face the requirements of Public Administrations.
 
The concepts of worker, employment, merchant, entrepreneur, mercantile companies, etc. are studied. in order to find appropriate solutions to open administrative procedures.
 
At the same time, the new rights that protect each situation will be explained: women, environmental, minorities, road safety, occupational risk prevention, food safety, health, anti-smoking, etc. appropriate to the new risk society model.
 
We will see each session as a right is guaranteed (to life, health, safety, etc.) through the analysis of a specific sector or in a specific area where human beings develop: the address, the university, the place of work, means of transport, hotels, shows, etc.
 
We will study the administrative intervention in matters of prison regime, the management of the shift of office, and the cooperation between the police courts and the police.
 
There will be an exhaustive study on the prevention of violence through the regulation of firearms. Exhibit how there are different security models depending on the restriction or freedom granted to the citizen in terms of the possession of weapons. We will analyze the American model of freedom and promotion of the armed individual to achieve a State where the citizen achieves his self-protection or not. At the same time, a comparison will be made with the European security model in which the possession of weapons for the defense of the citizen is a monopoly of the security forces and bodies. Once the two most representative models are exposed, it will be assessed which system offers more integral security.

Continuous assessment

Unique assessment:

The date for this test will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam. The same recovery system as for continuous assessment applies.

Recovery

If you do not pass the subject in accordance with the criteria mentioned above (continuous assessment, minimum 3.5), you can take a make-up test on the scheduled date in the timetable, which will cover all the content of the program.

To participate in the recovery, the student must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject. However, the grade that will appear in the student's file is a maximum of 5-Pass. If he has not been evaluated in two third parties for not having presented himself for the tests he will obtain the qualification of Not Presented, without having the option of Recovery.

Evaluation of students in the second call or more

It will be necessary to carry out the scheduled assignments, tests and exams and hand in the course assignments on the dates indicated in Moodle.

Warnings

Students who need to change an assessment date must submit the request by filling out the document you will find in the EPSI Tutoring moodle space. Once completed, the document must be sent to the subject's teaching staff and the degree coordinator.

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act , this evaluation act will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In the event that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0 ".

If during the correction there are indications that an activity or work has been carried out with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher may complement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.

Tests/exams may be written and/or oral at the faculty's discretion.

At the time of carrying out each assessment activity, the teaching staff will inform the students of the mechanisms for reviewing the qualifications. For single assessment students, the review process will be the same.

If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the evaluation system of the subject.
