Today the private security industry employs approximately 1.5
million people and spends over USD52 billion annually. In contrast,
public police forces employ approximately 600,000 people and spend
USD30 billion annually. Private policing promises to be a big part
of the response to today's increased security concerns, as citizens
realize that security is much more than the presence of guards and
the perception of safety. This book addresses the impact and
implications of private policing on public streets, and begins with
a look at private policing from conceptual, historical, economic,
legal and functional perspectives. These approaches provide the
background for the text, which focuses on a private policing patrol
program in a community on the south side of Chicago. The text also
demonstrates a number of substantive legal and public policy issues
which directly or indirectly relate to the provision of security
services; some people see the need for a ""dual system"" of
policing - one for the wealthy and one for the poor - and others
see the provision of private security as the primary protective
resource in contemporary America. The author also examines how
private policing is different from and similar to public policing.
