Private Policing: UK And US
Number of pages:
10
ABSTRACT:
10 pages in length. The extent of private policing has grown so much in recent years in both England and the US that it will not be long before there is little need for public police institutions. When one considers the extent to which criminal activity far outweighs law enforcement's ability to maintain order, it is not surprising to find citizens taking the law into their own hands by way of commercial security industry, the armed forces, local authorities, state departments and voluntary policing bodies. Private policing may have originated as a means by which to protect the citizenry over and above the limitations of governmental law enforcement, but even in contemporary society its existence is met with a combination of expectancy and trepidation. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
