One of the greatest risks affecting workers on today’s labour markets is unemployment. Losing one’s job usually entails not only the loss of one’s main source of income, but also psychological consequences resulting, for example, from the loss of colleagues and satisfying work tasks (Jahoda, 1982). While a short time i... |
The considerations presented in this article are based on several assumptions. First of all, the human environment and the |
set of its elements are constantly changing. In the early periods of evolution and development of humanity, man lived in conditions |
given by nature itself, no different than in natural conditions. However, even then, he was also exposed to threats, mainly natural, |
including disasters. Secondly, with the passage of time and development there was a very large population increase, which caused |
changes in quite primitive interpersonal and social relations. More and more organized communities, states began to emerge. With |
this development, new threats also appeared. In addition to the natural threats, which were already natural by their very name, the |
threats of a social nature began to emerge from the natural world around us, characterized by continuous and dynamic changes. |
Thirdly, man, who wanted to effectively deal with the problems of the threats he faced, created safety systems. One of them is the |
public security system. Fourthly, in today’s security environment there is a paradox that in practice these systems function, and |
in theory there is no commonly accepted definition of public security. The circumstances outlined above determined the shape of this |
article, the essence of which was to work out a compromise definition of public security based on the interpretation of this concept |
by recognized authorities in the field of law, administration and security. |
