Peeling back the layers of organised crime in local communities
Critiquing the regulation of private security in the United Kingdom
The UK Private Security Industry Act 2001 provided the legal mechanism for the statutory regulation of parts of the private security sector with the explicit aim of reducing criminality in the industry and raising standards. It created the Security Industry Authority as the regulator which commenced operation in 2003. Since then, it has received mixed reviews, and proposals have been forwarded to change its status and the way it works. This paper…

The Ministerial Foothills
The article assesses the role and influence of junior ministers in the Labour government of 1997–2010, putting them in context against the background of the experience and position of junior ministers in previous British governments. The article also analyses data relating to junior ministers' appointments and promotions under Labour to bring out the patterns of continuity and change in ministerial career paths. Junior ministerial jobs remain key…
Senior police officers' perspectives on private security
The police have traditionally been sceptical about working with some groups, and the private security sector is foremost amongst them. Arguments that there are too many negatives associated with a service that is accountable to only those who can pay can be balanced by its potential to offer more cost-effective ways of policing, not least in an austere economic climate. This article reports on interviews with police leaders about attitudes toward…
The Transformation of Policing
A prominent feature of academic and popular writing about policing is the ‘transformation’ thesis: the contention that, as the ratio of private security to police actors increases in a policing system, the orientation of the system shifts from the public good to the market. The purpose of this article is to critique this thesis. Instead of analysing transformation using the ratio heuristic, it focuses on the everyday rationalities guiding policin…

Does CCTV displace crime
Crime displacement is a concern often raised regarding situational crime prevention measures. A national evaluation of closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) has provided an interesting test-bed for displacement research. A number of methods have been used to investigate displacement, in particular visualization techniques making use of geographical information systems (GIS) have been introduced to the identification of spatial displacement. Re…

Crime at Work Vol 2
This is the second book in the Crime at Work series. It builds on the success of Volume 1 and focuses on the scale and patterns of crime and the impact that it has on different businesses. It suggests
The Victimisation of Business
There has been comparatively little research on crime against businesses, although there is a growing amount of evidence that businesses are much more likely to suffer certain types of crime than households. This paper incorporates a review of recent surveys and reports on findings of a study of 2,618 businesses. The paper begins by discussing some ethodological issues and then discusses the findings on the levels of crime reported by business, a…
Employing Ex‐Offenders
This paper considers barriers to the employment of ex‐offenders. It is based on interviews with offenders in the last six months of their sentence, employers with experience of employing ex‐offenders and other specialists including probation officers and employment officers. The findings suggest that ex‐offenders seeking work can count on very little help from the criminal justice system and that both employers and ex‐offenders are ignorant about…
Policing as a business
This paper, based on an empirical study, considers the characteristics of private investigation as a business enterprise. It reveals that private investigators most commonly work in small, autonomous units with very little centralisation and a largely informal structure that has changed little since Victorian times. There is currently no statutory regulation, little available training and recruitment is often based on knowing the right people. Th…
Exploring Investigative Policing
Even with the recent growth of interest in private policing, very little has been written about the work of private investigators. This is surprising considering their relatively long history and undeniably high profile in popular culture. This article discusses their modern role in the context of four key issues: competence, legitimacy, relationship with the public police and future challenges in managing a diverse policing structure. It describ…
Security At Sea
The Detention of Suspects in Police Custody
The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) introduced new procedures to place limits on the length of detention before charge and safeguard the rights of suspects while in custody; these were intended to counterbalance increased police powers. This article reviews the evidence from research conducted in a police force in the north of England on the impact of PACE upon the length of time suspects are held in custody and upon the use of two o…
Safeguarding the rights of suspects in police custody
Reporting findings from research on the impact of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE), this paper assesses the effectiveness of rights provided for suspects in police custody which were intended to counterbalance increased police powers. It discusses (1) the involvement in the detention and questioning process of parents, social workers, and legal advisers; (2) the procedures which regulate the detention and questioning of suspects b…

Problems in Administering Community Policing
Research focusing on policing is a relatively new phenomenon. Studies purporting to discuss the role of police in society (Alderson 1979; Banton 1973; Cain 1973; Holdaway 1979 and 1983; Whitaker 1979) have pursued that objective without adequately discussing what the term means. Even within the police force itself there remains dispute over the definition of policing (Jones 1980) and since the Police Act of 1829 there has been little examination …
