This document summarizes a study examining public attitudes towards balancing civil liberties and security measures in response to terrorism across five European countries: Norway, England, Poland, Bulgaria, and Ukraine. It finds that while the threat of terrorism is most visible and direct in England, perceptions of risk more than religion directly influence attitudes about sacrificing civil liberties for security. Focus group discussions in England showed high visibility of past and present terrorism but an externalization of blame onto atypical outsiders, including some born in England.
