The goal of the security report presented by the deputy chief of police Vittorio Rizzi and the president of Eurispes Gian Maria Fara is to distinguish between real risk and perceived risk, two categories that frequently do not coincide. The true risk is based on objective and measurable data, such as those in the dossier on crimes committed in Italy in 2022, which show a significant decrease from pre-pandemic years. Because we were all locked in the house, snatchers and robbers included, the two years of covid do not make text from a statistical standpoint. Homicides continue to fall: 314, or half of the 632 recorded in 2007, were committed last year. Overall, however, criminal activity has decreased dramatically, with foreigners accounting for a third of the decline and natives for the other two-thirds. There is less fear of home burglary, which has always been a major concern for Italians. Perhaps because 22% installed an alarm system, 21% installed a window grate, and 20% armored the door. Instead, computer crimes, which now constitute the true emergency, have exploded. Over a fifth of us have been victims of online shopping scams, 18% have had to deal with deceptive requests for money, and a similar percentage has had data stolen: name, password, bank details, etc. One in every ten Italians has experienced cyber stalking, and 9% has had their email account compromised. False identities and computer viruses, accompanied by ransom demands, are on the rise, and porn blackmail is on the rise. According to the Eurispes-Viminale report, this is the new frontier of crime.
