Trends and dimensions in Australia’s private security industry
|
The Australian Institute of Criminology has released a paper (Private security in Australia: trends and key characteristics) showing that the use of private security in crime prevention and law enforcement activities has grown to a point where security personnel outnumber police by more than two-to-one.
Using ABS census data and research funded by an ARC Linkage Grant and ASIAL, the paper, written by Professor Rick Sarre, Professor Tim Prenzler and Karen Earle examines the size and scope of the security industry in Australia.
