Security
Just a decade ago security had little claim to criminological attention. Distinctions between public safety and private protection, policing and security services, national and international security are being eroded. Today a combination of disciplinary paradigm shifts, policy changes, and world political events have pushed security to the forefront of the criminological agenda.

Post-9/11 the pursuit of security has been hotly debated not least because countering terrorism raises the stakes and licenses extraordinary measures. As security governs our lives, governing security become a priority.This book provides a brief, authoritative introduction to the history of security from Hobbes to the present day
