      abstract = {This book examines how historical military influences can  become embedded and used by the state to control citizens'  behaviour, termed the militarisation of behaviours. It  refers to the treatment of citizens by their state in a  manner resembling a treatment of soldiers by the army. The  militarisation of behaviours is a process of mass social  control where the state exercises its powers over the  population, blurring the boundaries between a dichotomous  divide of civilian and military life. This book focuses on  the social process of how Polish post-WWII emergency  legislation was normalised and how through it the Polish  communist state (from 1943/4 until 1989) introduced and  enforced the process of militarisation of behaviours. It  discusses the impact of the emergency legislation on the  Republic of Ireland as a comparison. It offers a useful  lens to understand the social and political processes  happening currently in Poland, Ireland, and elsewhere, with  the increasing influence of the (far) right. This book is  situated in the framework of criminology and socio-legal  studies. Bazej Kaucz is a researcher in criminology and  socio-legal studies. He completed his PhD in criminology in  the Department of Sociology and Criminology at University  College Cork, Ireland.},
