Which are the most dangerous cities in Italy?

In recent years, safety in Italian cities has been a common topic of conversation among citizens. Since the pandemic, there has been an increase in the number of assaults, thefts, and drug-related crimes. There is great concern for women: the number of reports of harassment and violence is on the rise.

  • La Spezia: highest rate of drug-related crimes.

The most common crimes? Burglaries and car thefts, muggings, and robberies.

La percezione di insicurezza nelle città italiane è un argomento molto sentito in questo momento. Sul web diverse persone raccontano la propria esperienza e questo alimenta un sentimento di preoccupazione.

Vivere con il timore di non essere al sicuro porta i cittadini ad un clima di apprensione nella quotidianità. La paura di essere vittime di reati, aggressioni o molestie incide negativamente nella vita e condiziona le persone anche in attività abitudinarie.

But it's not all doom and gloom. There are several initiatives aimed at improving safety:

  • Increase in law enforcement personnel: the government is investing to strengthen its presence in the area.
  • Implementation of video surveillance systems.
  • Awareness campaigns.
  • Citizen mobilization: for example, in Venice there is a project called “Sicurezza partecipata” (Participatory Security) that involves citizens in monitoring the area.
  • Solidarity and a sense of community are a bulwark against crime.

Security companies also play an important role. They offer fixed and mobile surveillance services, respond to alarms, and collaborate with law enforcement agencies.

Investing in security means protecting citizens.
