Security is fundamental to freedom, quality of life and prosperity. Civil security has a bearing on all spheres of life in modern and cosmopolitan societies. It enables citizens to develop freely and individually and strengthens the formation of democratic communities where social cohesion and societal participation take centre stage. A changing security policy environment, the growing trend towards digital technologies – both in private life and in the world of work – and societal change are all calling for a new response from civil security research. This response needs to include holistic solutions that help us to address the consequences of international terrorism and organized crime and enhance the protection of critical supply infrastructures. At the same time, national and international measures are needed to reduce the impact of natural disasters and extreme weather phenomena.
