Private companies are increasingly involved with the security of
domestic violence victims. This has manifested in a number of ways,
including private security companies working in partnership with
domestic violence services, the proliferation of
security-technology companies that seek a market within the
domestic violence sector, and governments contracting private
companies to provide security provision for victims. Private
Security and Domestic Violence offers a world-first analysis of the
risks and benefits of for-profit businesses engaging with a
vulnerable and underprotected section of society. Based on original
data gathered in Australia, this book provides internationally
relevant insights on the dangers but also the potential benefits of
increasing private sector involvement with victims of domestic
abuse. It offers a unique crossover of the literature on private
security, crime prevention and domestic violence. Aimed at
scholars, policymakers, and frontline workers within the domestic
violence sector, Private Security and Domestic Violence documents
experimental new collaborations and partnerships between the
private, community and governmental spheres and makes a case for
the suitable regulatory solutions to be put in place to
successfully manage private security involvement with domestic
violence victims. By outlining the risks and the benefits of this
new form of security provision and detailing a potential model of
regulation, this book offers a pathway for improving how we provide
for a chronically underprotected population. It will be of interest
to criminology and criminal justice students and researchers
engaged in studies of abuse, domestic violence, violent crime,
victims and victimology, crime prevention, and security.
