Migration Crime Structure in Poland

Abstract

Crime is a negative phenomenon present in every country that poses a threat to the existing legal order. It encompasses a variety of behaviours, goals, and motives of those involved in it and the consequences thereof. The basis for crime is the social layer of the state, where people commit crimes by violating the existing legal order. Crime can be considered from various perspectives, such as its extent, intensity, variability, structure, and dynamics, as well as the characteristics and background of those involved. Crime is a challenge for society, and effective prevention requires an understanding of the diversity of crimes and the different motivations of perpetrators. Research on foreigners’ crimes is particularly important in the context of increasing migration from Poland’s eastern border. Knowledge of this topic can aid in the development of appropriate migration management strategies and effective prevention and integration measures. It is important to continue research on crime to better understand its causes and effects and to develop effective methods to reduce and combat it.
