The notion (idea) (fantasy) of "safe and secure" places and spaces in society in general, and in schools and learning sites is a high priority in the Western world, especially since the mid-1990s.
I both applaud and am very critical of these movements, in the labeling of "at-risk" and "vulnerable" and in what exactly people (i.e., authorities in power) mean by "safe and inclusive" or "secure"... the fearist lens brings critique to all of this... see for example, the latest book soon to be published by Fisher, Subba and Kumar Fear, Law and Criminology: Critical Issues in Applying the Philosophy of Fearism (2018, Xlibris).
