In “The Private Security Industry: A Review of the Definitions, Available Data, Sources, and Paths Moving Forward,” the authors provide a review of the previous research conducted about the private security industry, including the ongoing discussion about the definition of private security.
Examine the various definitions, particularly the ones offered by Hallcrest I, Kakalik and Wildhorn, and Bottom and Kostanoski, then compare and contrast the definitions and explain in your own words how they differ and the implications for security directors when conducting risk assessments and developing their security plans.
Also review Green’s and ASIS International’s definition of private security and discuss how those might be more useful (or not) in facilitating your understanding of the risk management process that includes identifying the various threats to organizational assets.
