- Crime is one of the main threats to the security of local communities, the scientifi c exploration of which may contribute to raising the level of this security both at the local level as well as nationwide. The aim of this study was twofold. Firstly, to diagnose the level of security of local communities, including in the context of their members’ residence in the vicinity of a person(s) who they know have served a prison sentence in the past. Secondly, to determine the existence of a relationship between the safety of local communities and the experience of crime, particularly victimisation, among its members. The aim of the research was achieved using the diagnostic survey method. The results of the survey indicate that safety in the surveyed local communities is at a high level, and the main variable differentiating its level is gender. In static terms, the level of women’s security is higher than that men’s, while in processual terms, the tendency is opposite. The results of the study do not indicate a statistically signifi cant relationship between safety and residing in the neighbourhood of a person(s) with a criminal history. In addition, the respondents’ experiences of crime, including their victimisation experiences, do not seem to be important in terms of safety. The processual nature of security and the multitude of factors that shape it indicate the need for a permanent exploration of the research subject and, based on its results, legislative and organisational actions aimed at increasing the level of security of local communities.
