The Governance of Policing and Security - (Crime Prevention and Security Management) by B Hoogenboom (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Policing today involves many different state and non-state actors. This book traces the process of 'unbounding' policing, exploring the way that boundaries between public policing, regulators, inspectorates, intelligence services and private security are blurring, and the impact this will have on governance.
