Economic Damage Due to Crime in Israel, 2008
|
Division of Planning Budget & Monitoring The assessment of the economic damage due to crime is the foundation of the ability of policy makers to make decisions based on cost/benefit analysis. The recognition of the need to assess the economic damages is evolving in the western world, in order to enable examination of the allocation of resources by measurements of cost against benefit among other things.
The purpose of this document is to assess the economic
damage due to crime in the State of Israel, due to the tendency of strengthening the public security component in the national strength equation and the continuing decline of personal security of the citizens of Israel, tendencies which intensify the need to place the field of public security in the center of the national prioritization. | |

Social Violence in Israel A Research and Development Work Plan
|
Barak, Israel Background
In recent years Israeli society has become increasingly violent. Citizens are frequently exposed to incidents of violence, which seem to have become a norm, as is evident if we look at the category of serious assault, which includes such offenses as homicide, attempted homicide, manslaughter, and serious injury. According to statistics issued by the Israel Police, there has been
a steady increase over the past decade in this category of offense, despite the overall improvement in reported crime, as indicated by the statistics on reported crime between 2005 and 2007.
The goal
The goal of this document is to summarize and present information regarding violence in Israeli society, as well as to propose some principal modes of operation aimed at encouraging the trend toward decrease in violence and crime, as indicated by figures issued by the Israel Police since 2005. In this document, the
Bureau of the Chief Scientist in the Ministry of Public Security presents its work plan for 2009, which focuses on attempts to seek solutions to the phenomenon of violence through in-depth scientific research.

A Commander and a Leader
|
Keller, Hanna In this article I would like to share a small part of my impressions regarding the leadership of commanders within the Israel Police and the Israel Prison Service. My impressions are based on investigating the complaints which are placed on the desks of the Ombudsman Unit for Police and Prison Service Personnel as well as my interaction with the commanding ranks and the personnel of all ranks and positions of the two organizations.
This document does not attempt to set empirical findings; nor does it attempt to set the exact extent of the flaws and wrongdoings exposed during our treatment of complaints or indicate that the flaws which I speak of relate to the all commanding officers.
