Corporate Security: Governing through Private and Public Law

Abstract

When thinking about reactions to crime, it is the criminal justice system that springs to mind. However, in addition to public law enforcement, there exist multiple ways to deal with crime-related or other harmful behavior privately. One actor involved in this is corporate security, defined here as a specialized form of private security, providing services to private sector companies and sometimes public sector organizations. These services are tailored to specific clients’ needs and interests and can be delivered by a security unit within an organization or by a contract security company. Services include assistance with integrity codes, private investigations of suspected wrongdoing (for example, employee fraud, cyber-crime or improper actions by another company), and assisting with remedial actions and prevention (Williams, 2005, see also this volume; Meerts and Dorn, 2009). The focus of this chapter is corporate security’s activities at the interface of private and public law when working toward private settlement of crime-related issues 1 within companies. 2 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
