Abstract
Social transformation processes bring about increased social tensions and problems, but also innovation, accelerated growth, or reform. With new possibilities also come new challenges and anxieties about disruptive and threatening phenomena. The main responsibility for preserving order and eliminating threats was assigned to public police institutions. This chapter brings some historical and criminological observations about risk and police transformation in modern Europe.
