About this book
Based on empirical studies of security in relation to housing, employment, food, personal security and campus settings in times of perceived heightened risk, this book presents new and different ways of thinking about security to demonstrate how we need to expand the dialogue surrounding the concept. Drawing on empirical research to describe, analyse and reposition the concept of security to have meaning in diverse everyday contexts, this methodological and insightful text will be of particular interest to scholars and students of criminological theory, security studies and sociology.
Reviews
“There is value here for those responsible for establishing and managing security programs in these environments. The book provides plenty of food for thought in both the big and small pictures. … This book provides valuable insight for those wishing to tap into it.” (Glen Kitteringham, Security Management, December 1, 2019)
