In the last two decades of the 21st century, the significant development of the private security industry has taken place in Serbia and North Macedonia. However, the private security industry in these two countries did not
reach professional standards as in other states of the former Yugoslavia. The aim
of this paper was to determine students’ perception of private security and its
employees. The survey data were collected using an anonymous survey of 354
students (296 from Serbia and 58 from North Macedonia). In both countries
the attitudes are heterogeneous, but a relatively small number of respondents
have expressed a high level of perception of private security. The research has
shown that gender, as one of demographic characteristics, has its role in shaping young pexople’s views on the private security, that is, the female population
has more positive views about private security officers, their integrity, and the
nature of the private security job. The findings offer po...licy-makers and private
security companies the opportunity to deploy new strategies to upgrade public
attitudes towards private security, especially aimed at the male population.
