The night-watchman is a traditional social group of the Turkish society, who take responsibility at the local level in the duties of ensuring the security. Night-watchman has always preserved its existence institutionally in different historical periods, however, the understanding of duty and its practices in the field have changed according to the expectations of the periodic conditions in terms of preventing crime. Also, the understanding of modern society has also focused on the dissemination of trust emotion among the psycho-social drives among the members of the society due to the role it attributes to socialization processes. This work: it examines the social role of night-watchman through media representations within the scope of the law number 7245, which regulates the job descriptions of the night-watchman and entered into force in 2020. It is to analyze the media representations prepared within the framework of crime prevention activities with the qualitative research method with the perspective of post-positivism, with the priority of defensible space theory. In this context, the results of the screening of news sites on the concepts of "Night-watchman", "Crime Statistics" and "Crime Prevention" between 2016- 2020 were subjected to content analysis. While the contributions of the guards towards crime prevention are explained through macro data through public order practices, it has been understood that successful activities in the development of social cooperation and sensitivity are indicated, but no reliable data on communitysupported crime prevention activities have been obtained. It was concluded that in the neighborhoods where the night-watchman is responsible, it would be beneficial to express the crime prevention activities more clearly on a micro scale and to reflect the contribution of the community support in the resolution of crime.
