Description

Selling Security explores the growing role of private security in policing areas previously dominated by public law enforcement. This book examines the developments in urban planning, public policy, and commerce that have driven the growth of private security, as well as its use in three distinct environments: a shopping mall, a retail and leisure complex, and an arts centre.

The study considers the broader context of changes in retail and leisure patterns, shifts in town centre planning to create more secure high street facilities, and the promotion of CCTV and security patrols. It also delves into the ethical issues arising from the increased use of private security and the policy implications that follow.
