The rebirth of private policing

The rebirth of private policing

Johnston "argues that policing, far from being the exclusive preserve of public personnel, is an activity undertaken by a mixture of public, private and quasi-public agents. His book reviews the history of private policing, examines developments of current concern, and finally considers the implications of these developments both for the sociology of policing and for a more general understanding of public-private relations in the late twentieth century."
