Összefoglalás.

A KDP keretén belül végzett kutatómunkám fókuszában a biztonság megteremtése és
fenntartása állami és nem állami szereplői tevékenységének jelenkori
állapotanalízise, a komplementer rendészeti szereplők rendészeti szerveket
tehermentesítő, nemzetgazdasági szempontból is meghatározó jelentőségű
vizsgálata áll. Jelen tanulmányomban az ezzel megegyező tartalmú PhD-kutatásom
eredményeiről számolok be, kutatási jelentés formájában.

Summary.

The focus of my research within the framework of the KDP is the analysis of the
current state of the activities of state and non-state actors in the creation
and maintenance of security, and the analysis of the role of complementary law
enforcement actors in relieving the burden on law enforcement agencies, which is
of crucial importance from a national economic point of view. In this paper I
report the results of my PhD research with the same content in the form of a
research report.

I will point out that law enforcement, and thus the state actors in the creation
of our security, and in particular the activities of the police, have been and
are being dealt with in many different ways. However, only a small number of
police researchers have focused their attention on non-state actors in the field
of security, on the specialised bodies and ‘peripheries’ of policing, and on the
use of methods other than those that might be called traditional policing. The
joint work of state and non-state actors, the complementary and mutually
reinforcing role of the police in creating and maintaining our common security,
and the possibility of rethinking the respective roles are also areas that have
been little researched. My PhD research seeks to fill this gap, bearing in mind
the fact that law enforcement practitioners expect the Doctoral School of Police
Studies to provide recommendations for applied research that can be used in
everyday practice.

In my gap-filling research, I will explore my research questions and hypotheses
in an unconventional way by drawing on what I consider to be relevant, almost
half a thousand domestic and foreign source materials, personal interviews,
study trips and the experience of an expert survey.

I will reflect on the significance of private security research and then move
back in time to examine the development of the concept of policing over time. I
will juxtapose key ideas from works that are perhaps little known to many, but
which are still of great scientific value today. In a comparative analysis of
state and non-state actors in the field of security, I will present the actors
of complementary policing, the ‘stepchildren of policing’, and I will focus on
the experience of the domestic organisation of a major sporting event, EURO2020,
which attracts large crowds. Internationally, I will look at the development of
the public and private security sectors in Estonia, Mexico, South Africa,
Australia, Bulgaria, England and Canada, and the activities of private military
companies. On the basis of all these research experiences, I will interpret the
functioning of the security industry, the value added by private security and
thus the new structure of policing in the light of the “Security Rethought”
questionnaire survey.

Based on my research, I will attempt to unpack and explain the mechanisms of the
relationship between state and non-state actors in the creation and maintenance
of security. By interpreting the path to date and suggesting a possible future,
I try to combine an academic approach with the knowledge that emerges from the
work of practitioners. Emphasising the scientific need for change and
improvement, and the fusion of dogmatics and practice, I seek, in the framework
of this research, to address some of the issues that I consider controversial
and, as a result of this confrontation, to stimulate further research and the
development of alternative solutions for those who are open to the development
of the emerging science of policing, by setting out the legislative and
theoretical problems of the subject.
