Patologie społeczne jako czynnik destabilizujący bezpieczeństwo publiczne w Polsce
Social pathologies as a factor destabilizing public safety in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of social pathologies on the level of public safety in Poland and to show their role as a factor destabilizing the functioning of the state and society. The text discusses the essence of public safety, presents the main categories of contemporary threats and characterizes selected social pathologies, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, crime and violence, showing their consequences for social order and the safety of citizens. The article also analyses the mechanisms through which deviant phenomena lead to the violation of social stability and increase the risk of crime and other forms of social destruction. The research problem was formulated: how do social pathologies affect the level of public safety in Poland? The research hypothesis assumes that social pathologies significantly and multidimensionally destabilize public safety, leading to an increase in social threats, a decrease in the quality of life and a weakening of citizens’ sense of security. The article uses theoretical methods such as content analysis, comparative analysis and critical analysis of the literature on the subject. Among the applied scientific methods, the authors listed analysis, including content analysis, comparative analysis, and critical analysis of the literature.
