Abstract

COMMON CRIME AND POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CRIMES EMERGED AS SIGNIFICANT PATTERNS IN EUROPE AFTER 1968. EXAMPLES OF THESE CRIMES ARE LISTED, AND INCLUDE THE SABOTAGE OF PETROLEUM LINES AND PLANTS. SEVERAL PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED IN TRYING TO IMPLEMENT SECURITY PROCEDURES, INCLUDING VARIANCES IN LAWS, FIRE PROTECTION RULES, AND PUBLIC MISTRUST OF MECHANICAL SECURITY SYSTEMS. PHYSICAL SECURITY, INTERNAL SECURITY, FIRE AND SAFETY PROCEDURES, AND EMERGENCY PLANS ARE ALL COMMON TO MOST EUROPEAN SECURITY OPERATIONS NOW. SOME IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENTS IN THIS FIELD ARE LISTED, INCLUDING MONETARY SAVINGS, INSTALLATION OF NEW EQUIPMENT, AND COOPERATION BETWEEN MANY INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES IN TESTING AND IMPLEMENTING NEW SYSTEMS.
