Public Security within the State of Prevention Framework: The italian experience.

Abstract

In the constitutional order of all Western States, public security is configured in objective terms. This is framed as a public interest linked to a situation of orderly and peaceful coexistence, an essential precondition for the exercise of other fundamental rights, or as an objective interest of the State and of the legal system and, therefore, of the community. The idea of public security is configured: as a limit to the exercise of freedoms and as a task, legislative and administrative, of the public powers and of the State apparatus. The security police function consists of the administrative activity aimed at guaranteeing public order. The article analyzes the conditions for the exercise of this administrative power with reference to the Italian legal system.
