Sinopsis

Security has become a salient issueáfor governments, organizations and the general public. Yet despite thiságrowing concern,áthe provision of security is often substandard.áThis bookáexposes some of the common failures in security using case studies, including one of the greatest security breaches of recent times - 9/11. It highlights the generally lowáopinion many offenders have of security systemsáand exposes the poor standards of many security officers and managers. It also lays bare the poor regulation, limited professional infra-structure and widespread security inequity in society that contributes to poor security. Doing Security brings together the latest theoretical thinking, research and best practice globally to provide radical proposals to enhance the effectiveness of security in society at national and organizational levels. It sets out a model for delivering security in organizations that can offer new competitive advantages based upon a reconfiguration of security management as Security Risk Management. It also sets out a policy agenda at national level for more effective regulation of the security profession, arguing for the creation of Security Unions, based on the model of credit unions. This study isáessential readingáfor all those concerned with security and risk management, and crime prevention.á
