Abstract
This article examines the development of the security function in French companies as a tool for managing their criminal environment. More specifically, we show that the terms “security” and “safety” describe different realities corresponding to particular environmental constraints and that, under specific conditions, they are activities that must be dealt with separately. We justify this finding on the fact that criminal activity is a source of uncertainty rather than risk. By doing so, we show that, in addition to some already identified contingency factors, especially the size of the organization, the international criminal environment of companies must be seen as a specific contingency factor
