| Abstract: | On the crest of the crime wave, the security industry now collars F4 billion worth of business, and is intruding into public-sector domains. The paper states that there are now twice as many private security guards in the UK as 10 years ago. Jails have been privatized, and even police forces are hiring outside help. The jury may be out on the social effects of all this, but there is no doubt the securi industry has captured a lucrative market. The paper also considers a case of an attack by robbers and a number of security firms. The author of the article states that the appointment of non-police investigation officers could bring another 500 million of pounds to private security firms. |
