Abstract
This chapter provides a review of regulatory systems applied to the security sector, critiquing the benefits and shortcomings of contemporary systems on the basis of the available evidence. They summarise regulatory theory and outline the range of conduct and competency issues behind interventions in the industry, arguing in favour of a ‘smart’ model of licensing that includes disqualifying offences, mandatory pre-service training and close monitoring.
