Abstract

In the 21st century, the concept of "security" predominantly revolves around global considerations. Mass media frequently discuss global threats to the planet, states, and societies, with individual security often taking a backseat. However, individuals are an integral part of society, and while living within the confines of a particular state, they possess the right to personal security encompassing their businesses, families, and homes. Contemporary notions of personal security are often constrained to the legal definitions of criminal offenses outlined in the state's penal code. But is this perspective sufficient? Can the state genuinely assure the safety of each individual? Is it equipped to guarantee security within the intricate fabric of today's global order, while respecting the tenets of personal freedom and limited intrusion into human life? This article offers a pragmatic exploration by the authors to address these inquiries.
