This book contains the first major survey of the private security industry in Britain. The authors scrutinize the operation of private security and its relationship with the police force - providing a detailed analysis of the concepts of `public' and `private', using examples drawn from both local and national studies. They then go on to examine the startling growth of private security, and consider the implications this will have for the future of policing.
