Abstract EN:

Does the Bill dealing with security-related orientation and programms (S. R. O. P. Bill), passed on January 21st, 1995, define a global public security policy ? The purpose of the present thesis aims at answering that question. Starting from affirmative presuppositions, the author endeavours to demonstrate that the " important Pasqua Bill " did offer all the constituting elements to define a public policy, insofar as it aimed at reaching a political object : to wit, the fight against insecurity. It reaches that purpose while resorting to judicial means : reforming the National Police Forces. Finally, its recommended measures will be endorsed by the creation of the Proximity Police, under Jospin's Government. This reform of Security Forces actually provides the opportunity of a deeper transformation of the organisation of the French Civil Service, as it rests upon the concepts of proximity, and the co-production of security or partnership. Thus, the will to transform the Public Service of the Police, a regalian prerogative, partakes of the great reform of the State. Moreover, security has been introduced into our Law thanks to a genuine codification of security-related norms, which amounts to the creation of a new " security Law ". As for the right to security, formulated for the first time in the " S. R. O. P. Bill " and later on, consecrated within the Daily Security Bill, it is a mere reviviscence of the Right to Safety set forth within the Declaration of Human Rights. Despite the legislative consecration of security, the setting up of proximity security policies leads the State to free itself from its commitments. Beyond any political alternation, the global reflexion of the State - about what a Security Public Policy should consist in - is a failure, as demonstrated by the adoption, in Parliament, of too numerous Bills related to that specific topic. So, one can state that the ultimate reform of Home security actually finds itself in midstream.
