The purpose of this research is to illustrate the phenomenon of common crime in the eastern areas of Poland from 1921-1925. In the text, the author gives examples of this and its cause and effect on the functioning of the young Polish state. The timeline of the study covers the period from the signing of the Riga Treaty ending the Polish-Soviet War in 1921, to 1925 when the Bolsheviks temporarily gave up their aggressive attempts to spread communism in Europe. The author of the study focused on the most important type of crimes characteristic of the borderland such as robbery and smuggling, using the literature on the subject, source publications, and archival resources, mainly from the Central Military Archives, the Border Guard Archives in Szczecin, and Ukrainian archives in Lviv and Tarnopol. The research aims to show the characteristic types of common crimes, their connection with anti-Polish activities on the part of the USSR and Lithuania, and the intertwining of political crime with criminal offences. In the work, the author uses the critical analysis of sources, literary analysis, and the comparative method.

Customs Administration as Part of the Structure of Public Administration after Poland's Accession to the European UnionPoland's accession to the European Union has generated a number of challenges related to the adjustment of the state customs administration to EU standards. Poland faced the task of improving the functioning of its Customs Administration, which was particularly important due to the fact that the Polish eastern border is automatically the external border of the European Union. The aim of this article is to present the reform of the customs administration, its basic functions and tasks as well as to highlight the role of the Polish customs administration for the economic development of the state and the single customs area of the European Union. It should be emphasised that the importance of the customs administration has significantly increased since EU acces- sion as the Polish State undertook to protect the public, the environment and cultural heritage. Since the very first day of its EU membership, Poland has been bound by the provisions of the original Treaties and acts adopted by the institutions. In the light of the commitments, the Polish customs administration supports conducting legitimate business (gambling market surveillance, protection of intellectual property rights) and protects society and the environment against risks (prevention of imports of dangerous goods, protection against illegal export of endangered species of plants and animals, and export control). In order to make a comprehensive analysis of the changes it is necessary to pay attention to the sources of the customs law in the Polish legal system. Since the date of Poland's EU accession, the key role has been played by the Community Customs Code and the Common Customs Tarif. Poland places much emphasis on the modernisation and improvement of the functioning of the border with Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The modernisation of border crossings will contribute to an improved safety of travellers and officers as well as to a reduced risk of smuggling of hazardous materials into the single area of the customs union.

Drug trafficking is a threat to both social security and economic development. Ensuring internal security involves eliminating threats, avoiding them and reducing the probability of their occurrence in the future. Marijuana, being uncontrolled, unregulated and harmful to people, is transported between countries illegally. This is a problem that has existed for dozens of years around the world, and since the beginning of the twentieth century it is also noticeable in Poland. The activity of international criminal groups forces the security services to react and cooperate at the European level. The article aims to show that cannabis is nowadays a significant problem for society and a major challenge for law enforcement. Drugs are the subject of many debates and deliberations of psychologists, politicians, therapists, teachers, functionaries and environmental activists. Although Polish law prohibits the cultivation and distribution of cannabis, the number of users increases from year to year. To ensure security in Poland, organizations have been established that should counteract the smuggling. The reaction of the security services should be compatible with the existing negative situation in the field of counteracting drug threats. ; Przemyt narkotyków jest zagrożeniem zarówno dla bezpieczeństwa społecznego, jak i dla rozwoju ekonomicznego. Zapewnianie bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego wiąże się z likwidowaniem zagrożeń, unikaniem ich i zmniejszaniem prawdopodobieństwa wystąpienia w przyszłości. Niekontrolowana, nieregulowana oraz szkodliwa dla ludzi marihuana, jest transportowana między państwami nielegalnie. Jest to problem, który istnieje od kilkudziesięciu lat na całym świecie, a od początku XX wieku widoczny jest również w Polsce. Działalność międzynarodowych grup przestępczych wymusza na służbach bezpieczeństwa reakcję oraz współpracę na poziomie europejskim. Artykuł ma na celu ukazanie, że współcześnie konopie stanowią znaczący problem dla społeczeństwa oraz poważne wyzwanie dla organów ścigania. Narkotyki są tematem wielu debat i rozważań psychologów, polityków, terapeutów, nauczycieli, funkcjonariuszy służb oraz działaczy środowiskowych. Mimo, iż prawo polskie zakazuje uprawy i dystrybucji marihuany, z roku na rok zwiększa się liczba jej użytkowników. Dla zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa w Polsce powołano organizacje, które powinny przeciwdziałać przemytowi. Reakcja służb bezpieczeństwa powinna być kompatybilna z zaistniałą negatywną sytuacją, w zakresie przeciwdziałania zagrożeniom narkotykowym.
