Summary/Abstract: The relevance of the topic is determined by the importance of personal security for the individual – for his quality of life, for his activity, as well as for a society as a whole. The article analyzes the protection of the individual and his property from crimes as an element of personal security. In addition to the crime statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the results of a nationally representative empirical sociological survey of the adult population conducted in December 2022, are also used. On the background of statistical data on registered crimes, data on the perception of crime, people's assessments of it as a problem, their vulnerability, and also their vision of the role of the state in ensuring the security of citizens and their property are presented and analyzed. The assessments of the fulfillment of these functions by the state are examined. It is monitored how the individual reacts to the risk of becoming a victim of crime. Dependencies on the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents are also sought.
