About this book

The substantially revised third edition of The Handbook of Security provides the most comprehensive analysis of scholarly security debates and issues to date. It reflects the developments in security technology, the convergence of the cyber and security worlds, and the fact that security management has become even more business focused. It covers newer topics like terrorism, violence, and cybercrime through various offence types such as commercial robbery and bribery. This handbook comprises mostly brand new chapters and a few thoroughly revised chapters, with discussions of the impact of the pandemic. It includes contributions from some of the world's leading scholars from an even broader geographic scale to critique the way security is provided and managed. It speaks to professionals working in security and students studying security-related courses.

Reviews

“Martin Gill’s Handbook of Security does not pale in this third offering. It adeptly captures the security trends and concerns characterising the current landscape.” (Suzy Graham, Associate Professor, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Johannesburg, South Africa)

“Dr. Gill continues to leverage his extensive knowledge and expert contacts to provide practitioners and academics alike a strong resource as they learn and plan.” (Read Hayes, Research Scientist, University of Florida, USA, and Director, Loss Prevention Research Council)

“Martin Gill, in this the third and very welcome edition of the Handbook of Security, has skilfully curated a masterful review of developments in a rapidly evolving field of enquiry that has been, and is being, constantly reshaped by the novel harmscapes that have emerged as a defining feature of 21st century existence.” (Clifford Shearing, University of Cape Town, South Africa and Griffith University, Australia)
