Abstract

This chapter evaluates European and African security risks, aiming to contribute to the multidimensional understanding of security that is much needed in today's world. The term “security” has an intriguing etymology, deriving from the Latin word securitas, which conveys a state of being “without care”. In the modern context, it denotes the absence of risks or dangers and is closely intertwined with trust and proactive measures. Security encompasses diverse facets of life and is associated with geopolitical, criminal, social, anti-competitive, extrajudicial criminal, and cyber risks. In this chapter, an analysis of the Swiss police's methods for detecting and responding to radicalisation, extremism, and violence, with a specific focus on how these tactics are applied in the Vaud Canton and Neuchatel regions, are explored alongside the specific strategies employed in West Africa to assess the risk of youth radicalisation. Furthermore, the chapter carefully assesses the comprehensive approach used to address psychosocial risks and enhance the capabilities of young individuals.
