This book brings together for the first time the research on personnel management, corporate culture, and situational crime prevention to offer an exciting new perspective on private security. It is paradigm-breaking. Yet it manages to achieve a level of clarity and simplicity that would be the envy of any introductory text. As Ronald V. Clarke notes in his foreword, Law enforcement can no longer serve as the dominant paradigm for private security. This book identifies valuable legal and scientific concepts, such as situational prevention, risk management, and employee screening. These are explained with depth and clarity, which makes the book valuable not just for security professionals but also for students who require a brief but cogent introduction to the world of security. The book fills an important gap in the security literature. It will reach a broader audience than existing texts and will contribute to the greater professionalism for which the industry is striving.

This guide on Risk-Need-Responsivity: Response Recommendations for Community Courts provides best practices for court practitioners in alignment with evidence-based RNR findings, including advice on incentives and sanctions and a response matrix template.

Also included with this publication is the Center for Justice Innovation's free, non-proprietary RNR tool, the Criminal Court Assessment Tool (CCAT), available in both English and Spanish. Use of an RNR tool is often legislated for community justice programs or required by grant funding. The CCAT is available as an option for use in court-based programs in alignment with local requirements. Please contact the Center for a short, free training before using the CCAT. We also strongly recommend locally validating the tool on your jurisdiction’s population before implementing.
