| Summary: | <p style="text-align: justify;">The work is aimed at identifying the structural, substantive and comparative features of personal security concepts of law students. The results of an empirical study conducted on a sample of students studying in a legal specialty are presented. The study (N=120) involved respondents aged 18 to 21 years (M=19.7±1.3), of which 81.7% were male. The main research method used is the method of free associations. The results were processed using the simplest mathematical statistics (finding averages, spread, percentage distribution) and a nonparametric method — the Pearson criterion χ2. The obtained results showed that law students have personal security concepts that are built according to a similar scheme, including, depending on the focus on danger/security, elements of "wrong/right actions", "undesirable/desirable future", "negative/positive reality", "bad/good people". These concepts are differentiated depending on their correlation with the household or professional sphere, differing in the dominance of objectivity/ subjectivity and internality / externality; they contain signs of professionalism and are associated with manifestations of the Self-concept of personality. The results of the study have explanatory potential for cases of security violations by lawyers in everyday life and in the profession.</p>
