Tematyka ujęta w podręczniku obejmuje zagadnienia związane z wojskiem, policję i innymi służbami mundurowymi, różnego rodzaju zagrożeniami, zarządzaniem kryzysowym, oraz bezpieczeństwem i higienę pracy. Specjalistyczne słownictwo odnosi się ściśle do problematyki związanej z tytułem rozdziału. Materiał oparty jest na polskich realiach, co sprawia, że niniejszą publikację należy uznać za wyjątkową na polskim rynku księgarskim. Podręcznik opracowano biorąc pod uwagę różny poziom umiejętności językowych jego użytkowników. Każdy rozdział podzielony został na dwie części: A - poziom podstawowy i B - poziom rozszerzony. Część A przeznaczona jest dla wszystkich odbiorców, począwszy od poziomu A2 według Europejskiego Systemu Opisu Kształcenia Językowego (CEFR). W części B słownictwo i terminologia zostały rozszerzone na bazie tekstów o wyższym stopniu trudności. Ta część przeznaczona jest dla osób sprawnie posługujących się językiem angielskim (poziom - co najmniej BI). Każdy rozdział wzbogacony został o glosariusz (Glossary) - spis słownictwa specjalistycznego występującego w zaprezentowanym materiale wraz z polskim tłumaczeniem. Glosariusz ma pomóc w zrozumieniu tekstów i wykonaniu zadań z danego rozdziału. W celu ułatwienia korzystania z podręcznika, na końcu publikacji zamieszczono angielsko-polski słowniczek (Vocabulary Bank). Również apendyks (Appendix) ma na celu usprawnienie korzystania z podręcznika. Jest to zbiór załączników, w którym można znaleźć m.in. nazwy polskich służb mundurowych z tłumaczeniem na język angielski, strukturę armii polskiej, angielskie odpowiedniki polskich stopni wojskowych, przykład formularza zgłoszenia przestępstwa i formularza zgłoszenia wypadku w pracy, angielskie nazwy znaków drogowych, oraz inne informacje z zakresu bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy. Z uwagi na zróżnicowane oczekiwania osób korzystających z English for Safety, Security and Law Enforcement, zarówno lektorów, jak i studentów, wzbogaciłyśmy naszą książkę o przewodnik dla nauczyciela (Teachers Guide) zawierający propozycje szerszego wykorzystania zebranych materiałów; dzielimy się tu pomysłami, które pozwolą Państwu na jego pełniejsze wykorzystanie. Ostatnią część publikacji stanowi klucz (Key) do ćwiczeń. Żywimy nadzieję, że English for Safety, Security and Law Enforcement będzie pomocny zarówno podczas prowadzenia specjalistycznych kursów językowych, lektoratów, jak i samodzielnej nauki języka. Życzymy Państwu wspaniałych efektów pracy z nowym podręcznikiem.

  • Katyn Massacre
    Katyn massacre This article is about the 1940 massacre of Polish officers The Katyn massacre, also known as the Katyn Forest massacre (Polish: zbrodnia katyńska, 'Katyń crime'), was a mass murder of thousands of Polish military officers, policemen, intellectuals and civilian prisoners of war by Soviet NKVD, based on a proposal from Lavrentiy Beria to execute all members of the Polish Officer Corps. Dated March 5, 1940, this official document was then approved (signed) by the entire Soviet Politburo including Joseph Stalin and Beria. The number of victims is estimated at about 22,000, the most commonly cited number being 21,768. The victims were murdered in the Katyn Forest in Russia, the Kalinin (Tver) and Kharkov prisons and elsewhere. About 8,000 were officers taken prisoner during the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, the rest being Poles arrested for allegedly being "intelligence agents, gendarmes, saboteurs, landowners, factory owners, lawyers, priests, and officials." Since Poland's conscription system required every unexempted university graduate to become a reserve officer, the Soviets were able to round up much of the Polish intelligentsia, and the Jewish, Ukrainian, Georgian and Belarusian intelligentsia of Polish citizenship. The "Katyn massacre" refers to the massacre at Katyn Forest, near Katyn-Kharkiv-Mednoye the villages of Katyn and Gnezdovo (ca. 19 km west of Smolensk, memorial Russia), of Polish military officers in the Kozelsk prisoner-of-war camp. This was the largest of the simultaneous executions of prisoners of war from geographically distant Starobelsk and Ostashkov camps, and the executions of political prisoners from West Belarus and West Ukraine, shot on Stalin's orders at Katyn Forest, at the NKVD headquarters in Smolensk, at a Smolensk slaughterhouse, and at prisons in Kalinin (Tver), Kharkov, Moscow, and other Soviet cities.

On behalf of DOMILL, Dstl Biomedical Sciences has undertaken a review of published information from a wide range of sources on the reported incidence world-wide of injuries from jets of water from water cannon. This is believed to be the first such review despite extensive use of water cannon by police and other agencies in many other countries. There were no fatalities reported in the literature that were directly attributable to the impact of the jet in public order situations.

    IV. Emergency Response Measures Primarily Implemented outside the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station in Response to the Accident 1. Environmental Radiation Monitoring (1) Preparedness for environmental radiation monitoring before the accident occurred and the initial situation regarding monitoring after the accident a. Role sharing among the central government, local governments, and nuclear power operators before the accident occurred See Chapter V 1. (1) a. of the Interim Report. b. The initial monitoring activities that were conducted outside the premises of the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS after the accident (a) Initial land area monitoring after the accident See Chapter V 1. (1) b. of the Interim Report1. (b) How aircraft monitoring started The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) started to discuss monitoring by aircraft from around March 12 (see Chapter V 1. (2) b. of the Interim Report), and decided to have staff of the Nuclear Safety Technology Center embark on a helicopter of the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) to conduct monitoring, after coordination with the SDF and the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA). As a result, the Ministry of Defense dispatched an SDF helicopter to a sports park in Rokkasho Village, Kamikita County, Aomori Prefecture2, and the helicopter arrived at the park around 13:00 of the same day. However, as the monitoring staff had not arrived at the park yet, the helicopter left the park at around 13:10 that day3. The Nuclear Safety Technology Center 1 The subsequent investigation found that monitoring by monitoring cars by the Fukushima prefectural government from early in the morning of March 12 was conducted with the participation of staff of the Nuclear Emergency Assistance & Training Center (NEAT) of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, who were sent to the Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring Center of Fukushima and arrived early in the morning of the same day, together with employees of the Fukushima prefectural government.

  • Understanding the English Riots of 2011
    © YOUTH & POLICY, 2012 Understanding the English ‘riots’ of 2011: ‘mindless criminality’ or youth ‘Mekin Histri’ in austerity Britain? Charlie Cooper Abstract: The mainstream view permeating media and political discourses following the 2011 ‘riots’ in England is that the disturbances are evidence of a moral decline and mindless criminality, implying that the nation’s more settled traditions have been corroded. As a consequence, the policy response emerging in the aftermath of the troubles prioritises punitive welfare and criminal justice sanctions aimed at restoring ‘decent’ traditional values and ways of behaving. This article argues that these mainstream responses are not only based on a flawed understanding of England’s past traditions but that they also fail to acknowledge the deteriorating socio-cultural context of life in post-industrial, austerity Britain, particularly as it affects young people marginalised by ‘race’ and class. Thus the policies currently pursued are unlikely to address the deep-rooted underlying structural causes of the widespread discontent and outrage expressed, however inchoately, during the disorder. Key words: Neoliberalism, austerity, young people, ‘race’, class. THE KEY RESPONSE from the political elite to four nights of disturbances in various parts of England in August 2011 was that the events were apolitical and represented ‘mindless criminality’ (‘pure and simple’) – a view consistent with neoliberal realist explanations of the urban unrest of the last three decades (Hasan, 2000). It is a reaction that fails to engage meaningfully with the causes of the disorder – in particular, the reasons for the anger that fuelled the violence that ensued. Moreover, the policy responses introduced by the Conservative-led coalition government will consequently fail to solve the ‘long-standing areas of social difficulty that are deeply ingrained in the social landscape’ (Pearson and Sinclair, 2011: 4).
