Security Management Magazine Review – December 11, 2004

 

“This book examines the concept of private security companies providing community-oriented crime prevention on a contract basis. Borrowing heavily from the experience of security practitioners, it is rich in detail, well thought-out, and comprehensive–a close look at a bold new way to protect neighborhoods with a high risk of crime… …All told, this book ably describes an important experiment in private sector community policing, but it certainly would have served the security industry better had it explored competing ideas as well.”

–Security Management Magazine Review by Ross Johnson, CPP
