Abstract

Criminology law enforcement private security
This chapter provides an overview of law enforcement and private security. It begins with a brief discussion of the historical foundation of police in Australia, from the convict era to the transplantation of the traditional British model. Themes to be discussed are the integration of policing in the Australian federal system, the professionalisation of Australian law enforcement, and the rise of private security and its interrelationship with sworn police.
