The field of private security has been researched from the aspect of legal and security sciences, but not historically. By analyzing the content of available domestic and foreign literature, the authors will try to answer the questions of how and when did the development of private security companies and private security in general begin? What are the roots of private security? What was it like in Western European and North American countries, and what was it like in Serbia? What are the reasons for the emergence of private security? Applying the historical method, the authors conclude that the development of private security was influenced by numerous factors, which can be systematized into two groups: 1) internal (psychological) and 2) external (social) factors. A subjective sense of security is one of the most important internal drivers of human activity. Each person will do everything to maintain their own safety and the safety of their property and family, or to regain their lost security. Social circumstances in some countries have significantly influenced the development of private security. Keywords: private security, Serbia, USA, Western EuropeRead More
