Safety refers to the condition or state of being free from harm, danger, risk, or injury. It encompasses various aspects of well-being, including physical, psychological, and emotional security. Safety can be applied to individuals, groups, organizations, or even the public, and it can relate to a wide range of contexts, such as personal safety, workplace safety, public safety, and more. To measure if New Yorkers feel safe with the integration of facial recognition into the communities it is necessary to use ordinal measurement by sending out surveys asking questions like how safe New Yorkers feel after the implementation of (FRT)?
