The Concept and Evolution of Security Awareness in National Security, Counterterrorism and Private Security

Abstract

In their article, the authors present – using a comparative approach – the current issue of security awareness. In  doing so, they start from the concept of security, then move on to the concept of security awareness, and outline the  significant moments of its development in relation to  national security services. They then briefly flash police  crime prevention and then move on to the security  awareness presentation from a counterterrorism  perspective. The article concludes with a presentation of  the topic from a private security perspective and a case  study in an international context. In the summary, the  authors believe that, in addition to a similar methodology, national security, counterterrorism, private security and  security awareness support and complement each other.
