A Primer in Private Security: Revived edition

By Mahesh Nalla and Graeme Newman

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.

Corruption Risks in Land-Based Solutions to Climate Change: A Focus on Reforestation and Afforestation Projects

By Caitlin Maslen

“Nature-based” solutions to climate change require the acquisition of large swaths of land for reforestation, afforestation, conservation and renewable energy sources. However, corruption in the land sector is already widespread and this additional demand for land may aggravate pre-existing corruption risks, as well as causing new ones. National governments and project implementers of land-based solutions should therefore implement anti-corruption measures in projects and, most importantly, ensure that they take into account the communities (such as Indigenous Peoples) who may already live on the land.
