The increasing brutalisation of society results in Polish police officers becoming increasingly exposed to threats to their lives and health. In 2016, 311 assaults on police officers took place. A secure police officer equals a secure state and its citizens. This is why it is so important for Polish police forces to be in possession of proper means of physical coercion which ensure their safety while on duty. The Act on means of physical coercion and firearms of 5 June 2013 specifies the range of the means of physical coercion permissible for use by police officers. However, the most important of these are individual means with which a police officer is equipped. Research conducted among Polish police officers demonstrates which individual means of physical coercion available to them are used most frequently for the purpose of ensuring safety on duty. Undoubtedly, the key measure is the object designated by the said law to incapacitate people using electricity, colloquially referred to as an electric stun gun, a stunner or a taser. This measure of direct coercion, present in the equipment of the Polish Police since 2007, is gaining in importance, as evidenced by the conducted research and the data on the use of electric stunner by police officers.

The article investigates the presence of the disposition effect and overconfidence in the Indian equity market during 2006–2013 and provides some robust empirical evidence. It applies bivariate and trivariate vector autoregression (VAR) models and associated impulse response functions on the Indian equity market from NIFTY 50 index and individual security returns. The study arrives at three key findings. First, the presence of the biases, overconfidence and the disposition effect is detected in Indian equity market for our sample period. Second, the impact of these two biases can be distinctly segregated for 20 companies among the companies in the index. Lastly, the overconfidence bias is found to be predominant of the two. The study endorses the fact that like other developing markets, the Indian markets are not so efficient with respect to overconfidence and the disposition effect. This article is one of the few to provide empirical evidence for the behavioural issues (i.e., overconfidence and the disposition effect) at a market level that is otherwise studied at the individual investor level.

Shared Norms

The values of individual security and the responsibilities of states as laid down in the 1994 UNDP human development report have changed the face of social and political interactions in the 21st century, as liberal movements and shared norms pave the way for understanding while diplomacy and economic development keep the peace. These new liberal values have created a new paradigm that establishes the needs of the individual as a basis for peace. However, threats have emerged to challenge this new paradigm. These threats range from emerging populist leaders to the rigid nature of bureaucratic institutions unable to shift along with developing social and political norms. This paper examines the importance this new liberal paradigm and its link to human security, theorising why human security has become an important concept in political theory and real politick, and examines why the threats are a dangerous precedent.

The aspect of using the mobilization potential of society in the context of the problem of «society of risk» and the main concepts of «society of risk» as a specific state of modern societies in conditions of high degree of uncertainty is considered. It is stated that under present conditions, attempts to overcome risks create new risks and safety becomes a scarce resource for the existence of the individual and society as a whole, while socio-political instability erodes the traditional mechanisms of providing individual security, increases the uncertainty of the individual in his own security, spreads risk areas and threats. The main dimensions of individual security are presented: objective and subjective. It was emphasized that risk societies remain at the forefront of socio-political development, despite the increase of general instability. The mobilization potential of society as a tool for neutralizing the challenges and other dangers is described in order to preserve the main institutions and their own subsystems. The main components of the mobilization potential, in particular economic, demographic, and political, are offered. The manifestations of the features of a society of risk in Ukraine are analyzed. It is alleged that Ukraine is in special conditions of actualized danger and developmental risks, and mobilization potential serves as a substantial, existential asset, the basis for the preservation of statehood in a harsh confrontation. It is indicated that the operational reaction of the political system and civil society is the key to a rational search for an optimal solution to the crisis and the use of available opportunities. The main characteristics of the state of danger in Ukraine are presented. The main factors influencing the quality of the mobilization potential of Ukrainian society are revealed

The studies on beta variability have been fully documented in the literature with various empirical stances, meaning that a concession has not been reached. In view of this we employ the variable Mean Response Regression Model to investigate the random movement of beta coefficients over time and across market phases, using monthly stock returns from Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Our findings based on this model show that beta coefficients move randomly around a trend line when the market is up-beat, whereas they tend to be less volatile in the down market. However, a long-run equilibrium relationship between the return on the individual security and beta components is evident in the two markets. Based on these findings we recommend that investors should arbitrage between these markets and take advantage of price differentials to earn riskless profit.
