Chapter 11 Building a Security Culture as a Tool for Soft Targets Protection

摘要

The soft targets protection becomes the priority of individuals, social groups and the state. Ensuring their protection will minimize damage to property and reduce the number of injured or victims. There are several ways and tools to protect soft targets. The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between the security culture and the soft targets protection. Individual levels of security culture support the soft targets protection, influence response to attacks on soft targets, and determine the scale of activities after attacking soft targets. It is necessary to focus on the security awareness of individuals who can affect the active soft targets protection, or they are only their visitors. Security awareness is reflected in the behavior and actions leading to the soft targets protection. It is also important for the state to create positively influence on the security environment to minimize attacks on soft targets. One way of creating such an environment is to take into account the soft targets protection when new regulations and laws are adopted.
