Abstract
Preventing violence and crime is a core task of the state — yet, it is also one of the most difficult. Violence in societies and the activities of criminals were the main historical reasons for the establishment of the governmental monopoly of force and have been a challenge from the very beginning of statehood. Public order and security have never been self-sustaining, and their margins remain contested. Today, violence threatens the public order in many forms, ranging from civil war to transnational organized crime and terrorism. Rebel groups undermine peace agreements, criminal groups organize themselves in ways that allow them to evade effective law enforcement, and terrorists threaten the daily life of civilians in many countries.
