Private patrol in public residential areas

The State or the Market?: An Evaluation of Private Security Patrol in Public Residential Areas of the United Kingdom examines the boundary between publicly provided policing and market-based security.

The work is closely connected to Michael’s academic research into private patrols, public space, residential communities, and the changing organization of policing.
