"Achieving the highest possible level of public security is an important aim of European policy. The internal security strategy is essential for effective crime prevention, and also shows that the European institutions are capable of recognising significant potential threats and developing strategic options. However, implementing it requires constant efforts and these necessitate, above all, greater involvement of the national security authorities. Building up an effective system of internal security cannot be viewed in isolation from social developments in Europe, however. Research in the social sciences has repeatedly pointed out – most recently, for example, through the groundbreaking work of Richard Wilkinson and Kate Picket – that a high level of social security leads to a lower crime rate. An EU strategy on internal security should therefore take this basic fact into consideration and make explicit reference to it, particularly since other policy areas need to be made aware of this correlation. Current fiscal policy, for example, with its measures that always involve a reduction in social benefits, runs precisely counter to this correlation."@en1
