Security Theory & Practice

ã   Policejní akademie ČR
ISSN 1801-8211

    The management of the PA CR accepted a decision to form a new publication platform in the sphere of security theory and practice in 1995. This decision followed from the necessity to present the results of specialist and scientific work carried out at the PA CR and mediate it to the employees of the department of the Ministry of the Interior and the Police of the CR. The periodically issued Collection of Papers "Security Theory & Practice" became this platform. On November 14th, 1995 the Czech National Centre of the State Technical Library of the CR ISSN gave ISSN this periodical. In 1995 and 1996 one publication was issued annually, since 1997 there have been two publications annually. The technical and the content level of the periodical have been steadily increasing, especially in connection with the development of the scientific research activity at the PA CR. Since 2000 there is a special edition of this periodical dedicated to the results of research activity carried out in the framework of the Research intention of the PA CR, approved by the Government Council for Research and Development. In 2005 the frequency of the periodical increased to 4 issues annually.

     There was basic innovation of this periodical in 2006 concerning its formal and content side. The periodical got a new graphic layout of the cover and inner form. From the title the subtitle Collection of Papers of the PA CR is left out, which in connection with the periodicity and content turned out to be misleading. The content of the periodical is subdivided into theoretical studies, specialist articles, discussion contributions, brief and cogent information from congresses and conferences, reviews of new books and different organization news. The intention of the body of editors is to steadily increase the standard of the periodical and to form a prestigious specialist reviewed periodical. According to these changes the periodical was given a new ISSN number. From the original ISSN 1211-2461 it is changed to the ISSN 1801-8211 with the first issue in 2006.
