New Developments and Old Dilemmas in Corporate Security

The idea of corporate security has generally been associated with strategies of loss prevention and asset protection in corporations. The typical image of corporate security in this sense is an in-house private investigator working to monitor employees and manage intelligence leaks and theft in a corporation. However, there has been a rise of corporate security in government in Canada, the UK and the USA. This transformation effectively uploads the practices of loss prevention and asset protection and employee surveillance crafted by corporations into the security sectors of government. Indeed, local, regional and federal governments are now beginning to develop their own corporate security, which raises new questions about security technology and policy transfer from the private to the public sector. In addition, corporate security melds with pluralized policing in many ways, as corporate security units operate under their own auspices, coordinate and cooperate with public policing agencies, and/or contract out to private security agents. Yet the rise of corporate security in government has not been a simple process of policy emulation or transfer from the private sector – as with all policies there is a great deal of interpretation and adaptation accompanying it. Certainly the practices of corporate security in government are diverse and differ from private corporate security in several ways. The overall result is the creation of more hybrid forms of regulation that are neither purely public nor private, neither government nor corporate, and which blend security and policing in unique ways. This growing complexity of corporate security demands further theoretical reflection and empirical research by criminologists, political scientists, and practitioners.

This special issue will address new varieties and practices of corporate security and their crossover with pluralized policing. We are interested in articles that either conceptualize the varieties and practices of corporate security, including its public and private forms, or that empirically investigate the varieties and practices of corporate security, including its public and private forms. Papers should be between 6,000 and 7,000 words.

Specific article topics will include:
*Corporate security and private corporations
*Municipal government corporate security in Canada, the USA, the UK, or elsewhere
*State, provincial or federal government corporate security
*Corporate security and typologies of policing
*Corporate security and policy transfer
*Corporate security and accountability
*Legal and regulatory context of corporate security

We leave the individual content of each article up to the authors, however we are suggesting two core themes be addressed in each contribution:

1. meanings and practices of security

2. accountability and oversight

This special issue is slotted to appear in August of 2013.
