Projected 4.0 Sector Impact on Public Security in Lithuania

Abstract

This study consists of three parts: the analysis of the traditional concept of public security, the analysis of the role of technical directives and their relationship with social norms, analysis of the compliance with social rules and technical directives in Lithuania. The study revealed that the technical directives, based on smart technologies, will become more and more important as a result of the industrial revolution. Development of internet possibilities created an alternative (virtual) reality, where usual rules of social behaviour are not being followed. Development of users of smart technologies marks a new stage of public security not only of Lithuania, but also of other countries, which can be interpreted twofold - in terms of close perspective and in terms of further perspective. In further perspective, the control of behaviour of users of smart technologies will be more and more changed by their self-control, which will be formed by the rules generated by communication and telecommunication technologies - technical directives.
