The second edition of Private Policing details the substantial
involvement of private agents and organisations involved in
policing beyond the public police. It develops a taxonomy of
policing and explores in depth each of the main categories,
examining the degree of privateness, amongst several other issues.
The main categories include the public police; hybrid policing such
as state policing bodies, specialised police forces and
non-governmental organisations; voluntary policing; and the private
security industry. This book explores how the public police and
many other state bodies have significant degrees of privateness,
from outright privatisation through to the serving of private
interests. The book provides a theoretical framework for private
policing, building upon the growing base of scholarship in this
area. Fully revised, this new edition not only brings the old
edition up to date with the substantial scholarship since 2002, but
also provides more international context and several new chapters
on: corporate security management, security officers, and private
investigation. There is also a consideration of what the book calls
the 'new private security industry' working largely in cyber-space.
Bringing together research from a wide range of projects the author
has been involved with, along with the growing body of private
policing scholarship, the book shows the substantial involvement of
non-public police bodies in policing and highlights a wide range of
issues for debate and further research. Private Policing is ideal
reading for students of policing and security courses, academics
with an interest in private policing and security, and
practitioners from security and policing.
