RISKS AND THREATS TO PUBLIC ORDER

Summary/Abstract: The adapting process of public order forces to the new features of social protest forms faces a number of factors that alter or hinder its development.In the context of globalization, threats to public order have two defining features that make difficult the efficient use of the national and European legislative measures, as well as the enforcement ones to remove them.The potential domestic instability arises out of the economic, social and political difficulties, caused by the process of democratization and implementation of market economy principles, and also from the risks in the international environment.The social and economic transformations occurred in Romania after the 1989 Revolution have led to important mutations in the exercise of citizens’ rights and freedoms, in their attitude to property and state institutions, in the organization of society, in the structure and dynamics of the criminal phenomenon, in the field of public order and security.The internal environment is characterized by the spread of non-conformist behaviors and by the denial of moral values, the expansion of illicit drug use at the same time with the diminishing of the chances of social integration. The lack of active responses of the citizens towards the necessity to prevent the criminal phenomenon exerts a significant negative influence on the state of public security.
