Introduction to Security

Introduction to Security has been the leading text on private security for over thirty years. Celebrated for its balanced and professional approach, this new edition gives future security professionals a broad, solid base that prepares them to serve in a variety of positions in a growing field that is immune to outsourcing. Former and current members of the military as well as workers displaced by disappearing jobs are signing up for courses in traditional institutions of higher education as well as the burgeoning for-profit schools. The author team as well as an outstanding group of subject-matter experts combine knowledge and experience with a full package of materials geared to experiential learning. As a recommended title for security certifications, it is a crucial resource for working professions, and is also used as a core security textbook in universities throughout the country. This is Butterworth-Heinemann's best-selling security text of all time, an essential reference for all security professionals.
