INTUITION IN TAKING DECISIONS CRUCIAL FOR THE SECURITY OF PERSONNEL IN PRISON UNITS

Abstract

The authors undertake the issues of security in prison units. Basing on the results of research, analysis of statistical data, literature on the subject and their own experience in work for state security, they analyse selected aspects of decision-making aimed at preventing undesirable events in penitentiary units. Prevention plays an essential role in effective action against different incidents. Professional implementation of duties in this area prevents crisis situations. The circumstances in which these decisions are made, research suggests, may influence staff to follow their intuition.
