Overview

This volume examines how and to what extent security officers make use of legal tools. The work identifies these tools and draws on two case-study sites to illustrate how security officers make use of them as well as how they fit in broader security systems to secure compliance.

Occupational Culture and Security Systems

The study also examines the occupational culture of security officers and links them into the broader systems of security that operate to police nodes of governance.

Implications for Policy and Research

The book provides insights for researchers and policy-makers seeking to develop policy for the expanding private security industry.
