/^t/Third cause for the increased violence rate in Poland is the lack of institutions responsible for moral upbringing and control of Polish society. On the one hand, Catholic Church has lost, for some Poles, its authority and the role in giving directions for proper social life. On the other hand, with the downfall of the former communist party with its tendencies to set moral codes, some of Polish citizens have lost their source of moral guidance and support. In this situation, those who have problems with choosing proper way of living, or those who have already committed crimes have no organisation which could help them, judge what is moral and what is not. Those who took to committing crime, and are persisting in this, have nobody to turn to and help them make up for their mistakes.
