Dear Readers, I am very pleased to publish the fourth issue of the Criminal Geographical Journal. The first few years in the life of any journal are critical, as the editorial board often faces the challange of getting enough articles in this period. Apart from the number of publications the quality of articles is also essential. I think the editorial board has "passed the exam" so far, since we managed to fill the journal with studies of high quality. Our aim in 2021 is to make the magazine more colourful by publishing more studies and aricles from as many countries as possible. We hope that as the number of readers increases, more researchers will place confidence in this journal and submit their studies. In the autumn, an international online criminal geography conference is going to be organized by the Hungarian Association of Police Science. The editorial board of the Criminal Geographical Journal is also involved in the organization. I would like to invite everyone who is interested in criminal geography and would like to share their thoughts in the conference. Speakers can publish the material of their presentations in the journal. I am sure these presentations are going to fill CGJ with even more interesting articles. I wish you good health and COVID-free life again!

In a separate chapter, this book attempts to spatially localize crime in Budapest in the age of dualism and to describe the work of the “monitoring, prevention, and discovery” police and the social map of the ever-expanding city. An essential aspect in the analysis of contemporary criminal geographic conditions is the presence or absence of a police presence and the location of built institutions of law enforcement, captains and guardrooms in urban space. The starting point of the present study is that, in parallel with the geography of crime, in addition to the spatial analysis of crime, the subject of the examinations may also be the research of historical sources on the housing conditions of police buildings and police officers. An important point for the adequate living conditions of the Budapest policemen, as well as the retention power of the police, was housing, which could have a significant impact on the private living space and disciplinary conditions of the police staff, changes in police numbers and criminal investigation and prosecution. Keywords: police, law enforcement history, police housing project, police building estate 1. Housing options for police guards in a period of dualism Part of the police crew was housed in barracks set up in buildings rented from the city government from the 1860s. As this system could not be financially viable in the long run, the Home Affairs Government intended to build a state-owned, state-of-the-art, high-capacity barracks that fully complied with police considerations. In April 1884, the Interior Minister approached the capital with a request to designate a corresponding area from the empty city plots next to the public cemetery (today: District VIII, Fiumei út Tomb Garden) for the construction of a cavalry-police barracks and a prison. The sent committee selected the 1,500- 9 Criminal Geographical Journal February 2021 square-meter area on the right side of Kerepesi Street, opposite the plot handed over to the Hungarian State Railway Pension Institute, bounded by Mosonyi, Festetics and Juranics Streets, as the most suitable for the purpose (Fővárosi Ügyek 1884). Construction could begin two years later. From the justification of the bill submitted by Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Kálmán Tisza, it can be learned that at that time, the state police rented four properties in the capital for barracks purposes in Eötvös Street, Aradi Street, Városliget and Lipót Boulevard. In 1886, 578 of the executive police staff had accommodation in one of the barracks, and 192 received support (housing money). Two

  • POLICE FORCES to the BORDER! HUNGARY COMES FULL CIRCLE on OPEN BORDERS by John R
    JUNE 2015 POLICE FORCES TO THE BORDER! HUNGARY COMES FULL CIRCLE ON OPEN BORDERS By John R. Haines John R. Haines is a Senior Fellow of the Foreign Policy Research Institute and Executive Director of FPRI's Princeton Committee. Much of his current research is focused on Russia and its near abroad, with a special interest in nationalist and separatist movements. As a private investor and entrepreneur, he is currently focused on the question of nuclear smuggling and terrorism, and the development of technologies to discover, detect, and characterize concealed fissile material. He is also a Trustee of FPRI. For other nations, their land has fixed boundaries. For Rome, its boundaries are the boundaries of the Roman world.1 So, too, it seems, for the nations of the European Community, and for the Community itself. And that is the basis of the immigration crisis now raging in Hungary. When the Berlin Wall fell on 9 November 1989—Der Mauerfall to Germans—it set the two Germanys on a course to reunification eleven months later. It was in Hungary, however, where “the first stone was knocked out of the wall,” declared Helmut Kohl. In June 1989 Hungarian foreign minister Gyula Horn and his Austrian counterpart, Alois Mock used wire cutters to cut a symbolic section of the barbed wire fence separating their two countries. The next month, a small group of Hungarian dissidents and Austrian politicians organized what they intended would be a symbolic border opening outside the Hungarian border village of Sopronpuszta. The opening became more than symbolic: within a few hours, some 600 East Germans passed through a simple wooden gate into Austria.

The exercise was in close coopera- tion between Kosovo Police Service (KPS), Multinational Specialized Unit (MSU), UNMIK-Police, KFOR Tactical Maneuver Battalion (KTM) and the German and Italian Operational Reserve Force (ORF) Battalion. Approximately 400 peacekeepers took part in the operation designed to respond to riots or other violence that threatens to flare up in the province, run by the UN and NATO since Kosovo's 1998-1999 war. The exercise was in several steps. The scenario was based on a simulated demonstration against an International organization. The Danish and American soldiers who were acting as demonstrators were instructed to be violent and that the violence should escalate more and more. The demonstrators played their role very convincingly. Soon enough the headquarter was threat- ened. At this stage support was requested. Helicopters transported reinforcements from the Portuguese army as the KPS and KFOR soldiers attempted to keep a riot in check.

  • Chapter 24: Justice, Freedom and Security
    Chapter 24: Justice, freedom and security EU policies aim to maintain and further develop the Union as an area of freedom, security and justice. On issues such as border control, visas, external migration, asylum, police cooperation, the fight against organised crime and against terrorism, cooperation in the field of drugs, customs cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal and civil matters, Member States need to be properly equipped to adequately implement the growing framework of common rules. Above all, this requires a strong and well-integrated administrative capacity within the law enforcement agencies and other relevant bodies, which must attain the necessary standards. A professional, reliable and efficient police organisation is of paramount importance. The most detailed part of the EU’s policies on justice, freedom and security is the Schengen acquis, which entails the lifting of internal border controls in the EU. However, for the new Member States substantial parts of the Schengen acquis are implemented following a separate Council Decision to be taken after accession. 1 Migration 1. Please provide information on general immigration policy, as well as legislation or other rules governing migration in your country. Migration policy in the Republic of Serbia is defined in accordance with the achievements of international law in the domain of human protection, proclaimed by agreements between the UN Member States (ratified by our country), such as: Convention on the Status of Stateless Persons (1959), Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963), Convention on the Status of Refugees (1963), International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1965), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1971), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1971) and other conventions.

Together, the KFOR Team has seen many historical moments and all along the KFOR Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, and Civilian employee have served proudly and with distinction. Coming from 33 different Nations and varied backgrounds and experiences, you have come together here in Kosovo for the one mission we have had since 1999: to maintain the Safe and Secure environment for all of Kosovo. Through your actions you continue to light the way to a brighter future for all the people here. These gains were not made without sacrifices and while you have been separated from your loved ones for months at a time, you have continued to serve proudly, with distinction and always with a smile on your face. All of you have worked through many long days and nights, and many fought to quell the violence of March 17th, but through it all, you have served proudly and honorably with dedication and courage. It has been a great personal and professional honor to serve with the entire KFOR Team over this past year. I thank all of you for your sacrifices, your hard work, and your professionalism and I pray that this experience proves to be a lasting blessing for all of you, your families, and for all the citizens of Kosovo.

Benjamin Kallay, at the request of the Hungarian minister president, Andrâssy, was appointed consul at Belgrade in 1868, and thereafter pursued specifically Hungarian objectives at variance with those of the chancellor and foreign minister, Beust. The Hungarian influence on the Monarchy’s relations with Serbia was ultimately responsible for a deterioration in those relations. After the Introduction, which outlines the subject, with reference to the existing literature and sources consulted, the first chapter concentrates on the situation in 1867.
