1.1 Introduction
The private investigation services market is an industry in which companies offer research, information gathering, and analysis services on behalf of private clients, businesses, and organizations. The different types of offerings/products in the market include:
- Backgroundinvestigations and screening: criminal, credit and professional background checks of individuals or companies.

The private investigation services industry originated before the Unification of Italy, but was more fully regulated in 1914 and later in 1926 with the Testo Unico delle Leggi di Pubblica Sicurezza (TULPS). However, restrictions and controls limited the expansion of detective agencies. During the 1950s and 1960s, the economic boom encouraged the development of commercial intelligence agencies, while private investigations were affected by adultery laws. In the 1970s and 1980s, regulations were introduced that limited monitoring of employees and punished illegal wiretapping. The advent of information technology in the 1980s eventually led to new opportunities for the industry.[PIPB]
