This academic article by Mark Button assesses the Government’s proposals for regulation of the private security industry. The article explains that throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s criminal justice agencies have increasingly faced intervention from governments in order to improve their performance. These agencies have been forced by the governments to mark out performance indicators, which have then been used in order to compile league tables. The article is based around the government’s White Paper on regulation of this industry (2000/1) which until then had not been intervened by the governments.
The article focuses on how the size of the industry can determine how successful it is, in the USA the private security industry dwarfs the public police and Cunningham et al (1990) described the industry as the nation’s primary protective resource. This is further backed up by Jones and Newburn who found that the range of duties undertaken by the private security industry resembled all of the comparable functions that the Metropolitan Police service did.
