police privatization  

Definición

  • Policing is widely regarded as an exclusively public sector activity conducted by sworn officers, but a large and increasing share of the public's demand for security is handled by the private sector. In 1965, there were more sworn police officers than private security personnel; by 1995, the number of private security personnel had soared to about triple the number of sworn officers.
