Survey «Security 2016»
The annual «Security» survey, jointly conducted by the Military Academy at ETH Zurich and the Center for Security Studies of ETH Zurich, serves to determine trends in the formation of opinion on foreign, security and defense policy in Switzerland.
The publication is based on representative surveys of the Swiss electorate, carried out on an annual basis. Apart from core questions always included or asked at irregular intervals, questions about current issues of security policy are annually included as well. In 2016 special attention was paid to measures to safeguard internal security, the division of tasks between the police and private security services, as well as a question put to the Swiss electorate concerning which tasks the Swiss Armed Forces should be called upon to fulfill.
