Objectives The article aims, firstly, to present a human being in the state security policy and in the mainstream of the main approaches to security theory: realistic, liberal, constructivist and behaviorist theories, and secondly, to indicate the main factors influencing people's antisocial behavior. Material and methods Several research methods were used in the study, including: analysis of source documents and research literature, systemic, formal, legal and institutional analysis. When characterizing human behavior in the state security policy, it was found that he/she was prone to anti-social behavior. The author also pointed to several security theories emphasizing human subjectivity in the system of national and international security. Results The conducted analyzes indicate that humans are the main subject of state security policy and are exposed to a number of threats that depend on their nature and It is worth noting that the ideas of human security are embedded not only in state security policy, but also in scientific (security) theories, and an element of their analysis is the identification of threats and the tendency of human beings to antisocial behavior. Conclusions As a result of the collected material and conducted analyses, the author pointed to the most important trends in structural security in scientific theories, expanding some cognitive fields and making certain harmonizations in relation to personal security. The value of these theories is mainly focused on the security of the state and its structures and societies, and much less on human personal security.
