Military, gendarme, and police forces share responsibilities for human security, public order and public security, national security, and international security. In order that security related institutions like the police or the armed forces are able to fulfill their purpose, it is necessary that the people in a country have trust in these institutions. To manage the complexity of world is it important that people trust in stable institutions. This panel focuses primarily on the relationship between the public and these security-related institutions. For example: Which factors have an influence on trust and how is the mechanism of these factors on trust. Furthermore a basis of trust is important for a good collaboration between the public and security related institutions. And the question is how do these interact. Another aspect is, whether and to what extend the privatization of military and police function have an effect on lack of confidence of the public in armed forces and police forces.
