Abstract(s)
As questões relacionadas com a segurança no mundo atual são uma das grandes
preocupações de qualquer Estado, quer a nível interno, quer a nível externo, uma vez que a
criminalidade é transversal a todos os países e cada vez mais sofisticada nas suas mais
variadas formas de atuação.
Nos tempos contemporâneos, a preocupação relacionada com a segurança levou os
Estados, à semelhança de São Tomé e Príncipe, a permitirem que outros atores atuassem no
âmbito dos assuntos relacionados com a mesma, nomeadamente no âmbito da segurança a
estabelecimentos comerciais, transporte de valores e condomínios privados, o que levou a
uma proliferação e consequentemente a um desenvolvimento destas empresas de segurança
privada, bem como ao aumento da sua área de intervenção, na medida em que o seu papel
tem sido imprescindível na prevenção da criminalidade e na dissuasão de práticas criminais.
No que se refere a São Tomé e Príncipe, a legislação que regula a atividade de
segurança privada surgiu no ano de 2007, como forma de apoiar as Forças de Segurança do
Estado, no âmbito da manutenção da segurança interna, em virtude destas empresas se
encontrarem numa situação de maior proximidade com os cidadãos em vários setores,
colmatando a falta de recursos das Forças de Segurança do Estado, que podem ser deslocados
para outras finalidades. Assim, consideramos que as empresas de segurança privada, são um
contributo, uma mais-valia para garantir a segurança interna dos cidadãos e das empresas,
de São Tomé e Príncipe.
Issues related to security in today's world are a major concern of any State, both internally and externally, since crime is transversal to all countries and increasingly sophisticated in its various forms of action. In contemporary times, the concern related to security has led States, as in the case of Sao Tome and Principe, to allow other actors to act in the scope of security related matters, namely in the scope of security of commercial establishments, transportation of valuables, private condominiums, etc., which has led to a proliferation and consequently a development of these private security companies, as well as the increase of their area of intervention, as their role has been indispensable in the prevention of criminality and in the deterrence of criminal practices. In what concerns Sao Tome and Principe, the legislation regulating private security activity emerged in the year 2007, as a way to support the State Security Forces in the maintenance of internal security, because these companies are in a situation of greater proximity to citizens in various sectors, making up for the lack of resources of the State Security Forces, which can be displaced for other purposes. Thus, we consider that private security companies are a contribution, an added value to ensure the internal security of citizens and businesses of Sao Tome and Principe
