Course content
The course unit is aimed to clarify the theoretical background, laws, principles and postulates, which represent the core of theory of safety and security. Security is perceived as a social construct associated with the development of human society. Following this, based on the analysis of the stages of development of types of security, the basic security problems and threats that are their originators are identified. These are linked to the security environment and the security situation. The aim is to identify external and internal factors that translate into security breaches. In the next part, the basic types of security breaches will be discussed. Following this, the basic possibilities and ways of ensuring security are analyzed. The conclusion of the course is to shed light on the role of security theory in security science.
