“…In the study of customer satisfaction of the nightclubs with regard to security guards, we adapted the questionnaire applied by Mesko, Nalla and Sotlar (2004), as it is already targeted at private security guards. In this work, the authors considered the dimension as professionalism, however, in similar investigations these items are distributed between professionalism and satisfaction with private security guards, as happened in the investigation of van Steden and Nalla (2010).…”

This research aims to evaluate the degree of customer satisfaction of the nightclubs with the security guards, as well as the perception of their professionalism in performing their duties. Using survey data from 479 nightclubs clients to assess the clients’ professionalism perception of bouncers-doormen and satisfaction. The results indicate an overall satisfaction and bouncers-doormen to be recognized as professionals. Findings also partially contradict previous research. Despite recognizing a certain degree of abuse of power, customers consider those professionals as helpful, especially in emergency situations where they provide guidance and the necessary support. They are also considered to properly watch and protect people and goods in night-time entertainment spaces and have a good ability to foresee and anticipate incidents.

“…Since the latter could use their networks and contacts to influence the processes of adopting political and power/management decisions, or they could hypothetically carry out anti-state measures in the event of pressure and blackmail on them for their past. Similar motives were pursued by politicians, especially from the dissident corps, and by ordinary citizens, because they felt the fear of personal work experience or dependence on the secret police 19 . Second, the lustration of police system was extremely necessary for the development of socio-economic sphere of life of the analyzed region, as it was expected to be connected to activities related to posts in state apparatus rather than to private economic activity.…”

The article is dedicated to comparative analysis of causes, peculiarities of the implementation and consequences of the lustration of police system in post-communist countries of Europe, in particular in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It has been revealed that the features of the lustration and liberalization of police system in post-communist Poland, Hungary, Czechia and Slovakia were extremely various and therefore they were able to lead to various organizational and functional consequences and results of police functioning: both at the level of its transformation from an instrument of protection of the autocratic regime into a democracy oriented institution and at the level of processes of its demilitarization, professionalization, specialization, demystification, reduction, decentralization, decriminalization and so on. The author argued that the problem of all the analyzed countries of the region was the fact that the lustration of police system was used (or still continues to do so) to a large extent as manipulative technology by political rivals and media. At the same time, it was discovered that Poland, Hungary, Czechia and Slovakia used various models of lustration law and policy towards secret police and they are largely dependent on different models of transition from authoritarianism to democracy.

“…The police are the subject of intense debate in many nations (e.g., Bradford et al, 2016;Katz & Maguire, 2020;Lave & Miller, 2019;Mesko et al, 2013;Schafer & Myers, 2021). Some people pledge enthusiastic and unwavering support for the police, such as many of those involved in the Back the Blue movement in the United States (Shanahan & Wall, 2021).…”

In many communities, certain segments of the population do not have trust and confidence in the police. These issues are particularly intense in some impoverished minority communities in which people are more likely to fear the police than to trust them. Much can be learned about the patterned dynamics between police and communities from the study of intergroup relations generally, and intergroup communication more specifically. Unfortunately, these phenomena have not yet been well studied from an intergroup perspective. In this prologue to the special issue, “The Police and the Policed,” we introduce contemporary trends in police–community relations from an intergroup perspective, and we provide a brief overview of the articles appearing in the special issue. We close by highlighting key take-aways from this collection, articulating a vision for future research on police–community relations from an intergroup perspective.
