This article analyses perceptions of security in Lithuania. The analysis is based on the qualitative research (in-depth interviews). In addition, data of several public opinion polls is used as a complementary source of information that allows to have a broader view and verify the qualitative data. Perceptions of security, causes of (in)security, and factors that influence the sense of security are analysed. The research focuses on the individual (micro) rather than on the state (macro) level of security.
