Summary/Abstract: Security has been predominantly perceived in science from the standpoint of the state as object of reference during many centuries. Because of the experience in the World War II, In the second half of the XX century the state loses partially its relevance and the concept of human security starts to be affirmed, which as object of reference has the individual. Freedom from fear and want becomes the basis of the new approach to security. In that context, the cultural identity of communities gains in relevance. The threat analysis to the cultural identity of communities requires also a criminal law approach. The action focused on the prevention of threats to the security of communities on the basis of their cultural identities cannot be based solely on the freedom from want, but also requires to take into consideration the ideological aspects of such threats, with the objective to reduce their destructive potential.
