Strategic Law Enforcement - PICX842
The western democratic perspective that public policing own and control the public safety domain is no longer valid. The role of private security beyond that of the 'night watch' or 'loss prevention' was until more recent times not considered relevant. The developing influence of neo-liberal principles in public administration, influenced by declining public funding availability and a push towards responsibilisation has seen the development of both the private security industry and other public/government agencies as key operational and strategic players in the safety and security market. The purpose of this unit is to look at the industry that is public safety and security, examine those who have a stake in the industry, the decision makers, specific components of the industry and the partnerships that are involved.
