Keywords:
public security and prison system, massive incarceration, police role, multiform violence, Factors of crimeAbstract
The author, after referring to different theories that try to explain the factors of the criminality, shows different faces of the violence and makes a study on the relations between security and human rights; then discusses the role of the police and society in this regard; the article focuses on the mass incarceration, including people without sentence, and its harmful consequences, among them the violation of the human rights of prisoners. The author adds that a criminal policy should not be measured by more severe laws or punishments; public security and prison system are, after all, inseparable and constitute enormous challenges in the contemporary world, in which certain values, such as solidarity, inclusion and peace, must prevail.
