The present research looks at how the actions of Italian and West German police agencies changed in the 1970s and 1980s and assesses whether and to what extent their increased technological potential marked the beginning of a new approach to the surveillance of space. To address such questions, the interconnection between space, technology and police surveillance are evaluated, in order to illustrate how such a relation has transformed the practices of institutions and local actors – in this case the police forces – and given rise to a culture of security in Italy and in the Federal Republic of Germany throughout the complex turning point represented by the 1970s and 1980s in Europe.

Abstract
The present research looks at how the actions of Italian and West German police agencies changed in the 1970s and 1980s and assesses whether and to what extent their increased technological potential marked the beginning of a new approach to the surveillance of space. To address such questions, the interconnection between space, technology and police surveillance are evaluated, in order to illustrate how such a relation has transformed the practices of institutions and local actors – in this case the police forces – and given rise to a culture of security in Italy and in the Federal Republic of Germany throughout the complex turning point represented by the 1970s and 1980s in Europe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
