incresingly diverse provision of policing arrangements in England

been published on private security in the UK.'

the understanding of private secutrity within the context of
policing.'
Mark Button, Labour Campaign for Criminal Justice Newsletter 49
`important contribution to the sociology of policing ... Jones and
Newburn provide what is probably the most reliable account to date
of the size, scope and activities of the private security firm
industry in Britain ... an important book ... notable both for the
grounded and much needed account it offers of the extent and
dynamics of plural policing in contemporary Britain, and for
drawing some key conceptual distinctions.'
Ian Loader, British Journal of Criminology (2000) 40
From a criminological perspective, Jones and Newburn, drawing on
their major empirical study, make a significant contribution to the
emerging body of literature concerned with the role of private
security./ For those academics and practitioners who seek to
grapple with these issues in the future this well argued and well
written text makes a vital contribution./ Lesley Noaks, Cardiff
University, Journal of Law and Society, Vol 26, no2, June 1999
