10 years of IBSSA – official publication Urban Security (operation and objectives of the Urban and Settlement Security Department of IBSSA) The Urban and Settlement Security Department was established under the auspices of the International Association of Body-guard and Security Services. The founders: -- Dr. TÓTH, Ferenc, chairman (Hungary) -- Dr. BUZATU, Constantin (Romania) -- Dr. REICZ, Lajos (Hungary). At the time of the Department’s foundation, the very term of urban security was not, as a matter of fact, known either in Hungary or the neighboring countries, despite the increasing fear, since the early nineties, of people of encountering or being subjected to criminal actions. This phenomenon can primarily be attributed to the increasing degree of violence of escalating criminality experienced in urban areas. Let’s take the case of Budapest as the most characteristic example. Nearly 20 per cent of the total population lives in the capital where 27 to 30 % of all the identified and registered criminal actions are committed. The per capita ratio of criminality in Hungary is approx. 450 to 500 criminal actions per 10,000 inhabitants, compared to the 650 to 680 cases/10,000 inhabitants recorded in Budapest, i.e. the capital has played a “leading role” in shaping the criminality statistics. During the past period, this concept has gained an increasing ground in the domestic literature and this trend can, in addition to other factors, be attributed to the activities performed by the Urban and Settle-ment Security Department of IBSSA (hereafter referred to as: “Department”). As to justify the above statements, the following priorities have been chosen from the action program titled “National Strategy for Crime Prevention by the Hungarian Society”: -- containment of childhood and juvenile delinquency -- improvement of urban security -- prevention of violence within families -- prevention of becoming a victim, assistance and compensation provided to victims of criminal actions -- prevention of recidivism. Thus, the concept of urban safety and security has been phrased and, on the other hand, it has been elevated to the rank of the second most vital task. The concept of urban security The progress of urbanization contributed to turning the need for security an increasingly substantive factor. Today, urban citizens consider the personal and property protection guaranteed by the municipality an elementary right. Simultaneously, the concept of living in a secure and comfortable urban environment emerged, however, the memory of September 11, 2001 and the collateral risks of terrorism jeopardize the turning of that much desired vision into reality. According to the basic concept of urban security, people have proper ground to expect the state, the local municipality and authorities that they create a safe and secure environment and take efficient actions against any plot and plan that can jeopardize or violate the citizens’ right to safety and security. The concept of urban security acknowledges the right of each individual and citizen to expect the public governance to warrant protection, in general, and personal security, in particular. Urban security is the responsibility of several persons and organizations and, in this respect, the municipalities must assume principal role in meeting that responsibility. At the same time, urban security is a “complex product” to be delivered also by the security companies and their staff, in addition to the municipality and the police. “In the course of organizing crime prevention actions, one should take into account also the guard duty and security firms which do exist in each member state and manufacture, sell and install technical equipment furthermore render services to contribute to the enhancement of protection provided to persons and property. They contribute to the prevention of crime and the protection of potential victims, in order to: -- preclude and thwart criminal actions and improve chances for the identification of potential of-fenders, -- alleviate the protected persons’ fear of becoming victim of criminal actions, -- ensure the security of certain zones, equipment, buildings or individuals and, thus, assist the police in using their resources more efficiently.” The concept of urban security implies that: the rule of law maintained within the city/settlement limits ensures the protection of both the life, health, honor, freedom and property of the citizens and the unobstructed operation of economic and social institutions, organizations and interest groups active within the territory governed by the local municipality, from any criminal action and breach of law (incl. offenses and violation of the rules set by the municipality). Urban security is a state of conditions which: -- is established by numerous people, -- can be created by people, -- can be measured, and -- is subject to continuous changes. The quality of activities performed by the Department is indicated by the Honorary Doctor’s degree awarded by Pro-deo Universitas Patriarchal Studium Generale to Dr. Ferenc TÓTH in 2001, to acknowledge the merits of his study on the theoretical and practical aspects of urban and settlement security. 24
