Based on extensive research in several international contexts, this
volume provides a nuanced assessment of the historical evolution of
private security and its fluid, contested and mutually constitutive
relationship with state agencies, public policing and the criminal
justice system. This book provides an overview of the history of
private security provision in its multiple forms including
detective agencies, insurance companies, moral campaigners,
employers' associations, paramilitary organizations,
self-protection and vigilantism. It also explores the historical
evolution of private policing and security provision in a diverse
set of temporal, national and international contexts and compares
the interactions between public and private security bodies,
structures, strategies and practices in different countries,
cultures and settings. In doing so, the volume fills the existing
gaps in historical knowledge about the emergence of private and
public security organizations and provides a more robust
understanding of changes in the division of responsibility for
security provision, law enforcement and punishment between public
and private institutions. This wide-ranging volume will be of great
interest to scholars and students of history, criminology,
sociology, political science, international relations, security
studies, surveillance studies, policing, criminal justice and law.
