Summary

Les Johnston argues that policing, far from being the preserve of public personnel, is in fact performed by a mixture of public, private, and quasi-public agents. He reviews the history of private policing and examines its implications.

Privatisation is the topic of concern currently discussed by the police

Policy makers and police students urgently need serious analysis. Offers a fundamental re-analysis of the concept and history of police-state. Is a major contribution to theorisation of policing.
