Fitting Security into the Swiss Value Landscape Personal And Social Security Concerns in

What comes to people's minds when they think of security? Is there a relationship between global security threats and local, everyday events that influence our feeling of security? Drawing from telephone interviews of 1,000 Swiss citizens, this work attempts to provide a missing link between the spheres of personal and public security. Based on empirical data and using quantitative statistical methods such as correspondence analysis and logistic regression, security is conceived through the statements of common citizens. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of the different notions of security in contemporary Switzerland.Bennett, Jonathan is the author of 'Fitting Security into the Swiss Value Landscape Personal And Social Security Concerns in', published 2005 under ISBN 9780820471532 and ISBN 0820471534.
