In recent years there has been massively increased demand for the
services of the private security industry, which has now assumed a
far greater role in policing areas that were once the sphere of the
police --for example, shopping malls, leisure parks and
transportation terminals. This book provides a detailed account of
the developments in urban planning, public policy and the
commercial world which have promoted the development of private
security, and provides a unique examination of security teams in
operation in three very different environments --a shopping mall, a
retail and leisure complex, and an arts centre. The study is set
within a broader context that considers changes in retail and
leisure patterns that have promoted the development of large,
multi-purpose developments, shifts in town centre planning to
create more secure high street retail and leisure facilities, and
the promotion of CCTV and security patrols. Finally, the book
considers the ethical issues that arise with the massively
increased use of private security, and the broader policy issues
which arise.
