The issue of security is a topic that has resonated in the society for a long time and one that deserves our attention.

The book also presents the main theoretical streams that influenced the research in the feeling of security and fear of crime as well as a conceptualization of the feeling of security and fear of crime and the assessment methods in used practice.
