Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate how scientific evidence is used in the preparation, implementation, and final evaluation of local crime prevention strategies and the protection of citizens’ security and public order. The analysis is conducted using an evidence-based crime prevention approach. A qualitative analysis has been made of the local security strategies of the local self-government of the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship, which have been reconstructed from the content of poviat crime prevention strategies and annual reports of the security commission. Based on the conclusions presented in the Beccaria Standards, a tool has been prepared to assess the degree to which scientific knowledge was used in poviat security strategies. The analysis shows that although there are different possibilities for using scientific evidence to prepare, implement, and evaluate preventive strategies, scientific knowledge is not often used.
