Summary/Abstract: Research among young people aged 15-30 showed that peer violence is the most frequent security risk - a total of 23% of young people say that peer violence is often or very often in their environment. This is followed by traffic accidents (15%), i.e. fights/violent incidents and drug users or sellers in public places (14% each). The survey also showed that 87% of respondents feel mostly or completely safe in the country of Serbia. Respondents feel safest in their own home and the further away they are from their personal space – neighborhood, school/workplace and city where they live – the less safe they feel.The largest percentage of young people states that they have heard of some violence in their area (48%), while 12% of young people are personally familiar with the violence that occurs in their area. Among the investigated forms of violence, young people in Serbia most often state that they have experienced psychological violence. Thus, 15% of those surveyed say that they have experienced psychological violence one or more times, and the frequency of experiencing this type of violence is significantly higher among women.
