Polish eastern border is so called border between East and West of Europe. It has a significant role in Europe security. Therefore the aim of article is to show the threats to border’s security and also state security. Author will present the structure and dynamics of border criminality on Polish eastern border in 2004-2013. The hypothesis is that the border criminality is strongly influenced by migration, and in case of Poland it is high on the eastern section of the state border (external EU border). The analysis of structure and dynamics of border criminality on Polish eastern border in 2004-2013 will be conducted mostly in reference to the political factors that influenced the border status. There were EU enlargement (in 2004), Schengen enlargement (in 2007) and introduction of Local Border Traffic with Ukraine (in 2009) and with Russian Federation (in 2012). Those factors include some elements of EU policy towards ex USSR countries and influenced the scale of border criminality and other threats to border security on the East of Europe. The data presented will show the scale and specific of criminality on different border sections (with Russia, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine).</p>}, number={2 (41)}, journal={Politeja}, author={Perkowska, Magdalena}, year={2016}, month={Mar.}, pages={115–133} }
