The book discusses both the business and technical aspects of security; provides case histories illustrating good and bad management practices; presents strategies for outsourcing security services and systems; and refers to applicable print and Web-based research literature. It seeks to bring order to the sometimes chaotic task of protecting people, physical assets, intellectual property, and opportunity. The book notes how little effect organizational security leadership has had on education within criminal justice, economics, and business programs. It attempts to integrate the academic discipline of security management with the more mature, directed studies in schools of business administration and in criminal justice academic programs. The book is written within the context of the security management academic program at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The book also integrates relevant papers from Security Journal and other criminal justice and business-oriented publications. In addition, it incorporates findings and recommendations from academic/practitioner symposiums sponsored by the American Society for Industrial Security.
