Sažetak
The complexity and the multicomponent model of the contents which determine national security in the modern way, as well as promotion and redefining of the interest and the goals of security from the state as the institution which is the closest to the individual as the referent object of safety, question the consistency in the labels and indicators for assessing the various and individual - personal states. Conceptualised by the UNDP's model of human safety and highlighting the three key freedoms of a man: a freedom from fear, a freedom from want and freedom to live with dignity, the individual safety also means the multi-sector understanding of the lack of safety, i.e. a threat directed towards seven areas, the economic area, health area and the safety of food and environment, through personal and communal safety, to political safety. Measurement, clarity and standardization of security features and states allows for the assessment and evaluation of safety conditions and also sets frameworks for evaluation of success of the inner safety functions and dedicated safety structures at the national and integrational (e.g. EU), i.e. regional and international levels. In that sense, the researches, methodological frameworks and the measurements of the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces are valuable and useful, with the ambition of evaluation and comparison of safety sectors and the analysis of their management. Their overview and systematization of numerous security indexes, designed by various international organisations, enabled comparison and combining of safety indicators with certain standardization and common denominators. With the indicators of international peace and safety, and in the context of state-centred security of the safety approach, which are significant and applicable in the context of people-centred security, the measures for internal safety also seem applicable at the individual level. Analyzing the indicators of the crime levels, victimization, perception of safety, civil freedoms and political rights, this paper aims toward clarification and better understanding of the individual and national safety, i.e. the consequences and impact to the other safety levels.
