SICUREZZA, CERTEZZA DEL DIRITTO E FUNZIONI DELLO STATO: RIFLESSIONI STORICHE A PARTIRE DALLA SCIENZA DI POLIZIA

Abstract

The essay aims to carry out some reflections on the sonship between the paradigm of security, as developed in the modern age, especially by eighteenth-century science de police, and the legal certainty, conceptualized later, but already substantially present in this age. In the concept of security and in those policies suggested by science de police (so-called security police) a series of considerations are developed which aim to ensure not only the defense of the State, but also its efficiency, the observance of the rules and the certainty of subjective legal situations and relationships. Such tension does not fail to present contradictions, with dynamics that are reproduced in a similar way even today.
