Abstract

This paper analyzes the role of private security guards (GpG) in urban safety in the city of Terni, based on over 500 patrol reports. The data highlight a predominantly preventive and environmental function of the GpG, with particular attention to peripheral and semi-central areas, thus contributing to territorial monitoring and the perception of safety.

Keywords
