Amid the incapacity of state security forces, the persistence and spread of our era's security challenge – from urban homicide to global terrorism – have also led to an expansion of private policing to combat them. Private security has become one of the fastest growing sectors. Like these challenges, private policing has also diversified, ranging from local community policing groups to wealthy multinational firms. The entry delves into the underlying catalysts of private security, using examples from each world region.
