THIS FIRST ACADEMIC JOURNAL IN THE PRIVATE SECURITY FIELD EMPHASIZES THE EDUCATION OF SECURITY PROFESSIONALS, AND INCLUDES ARTICLES DISCUSSING FORENSIC TECHNIQUES, DEGREE REQUIREMENTS IN SECURITY, AND CAMPUS SECURITY.
Abstract
THE EDITORIAL CONTAINS A PLEA TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES FOR FUNDING SO THAT MORE STUDIES CAN BE CONDUCTED IN THE AREA OF PRIVATE SECURITY. THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INDUSTRIAL SECURITY (ASIS) IS PRAISED FOR ITS RESEARCH AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF PROFESSIONALISM. THE EDITORS ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEGREE PROGRAMS IN SECURITY BASED ON THE ASIS CURRICULUM GUIDE. AN ARTICLE ON NONSECURITY EDUCATION PROVIDES A REVIEW OF SECURITY EDUCATION THAT GOES BEYOND POLICE TRAINING. FORENSICS IN SECURITY EDUCATION SUGGESTS THE USE OF FORENSICS BY PRIVATE SECURITY IN STRESS DETECTION AND DOCUMENT ANALYSIS. MANY LARGE BUSINESSES HAVE ESTABLISHED THEIR OWN CRIME LABS EMPHASIZING FORENSIC TECHNIQUES, AND DEGREE PROGRAMS IN SECURITY SHOULD INSTRUCT THE CANDIDATES IN THESE METHODS. SEVERAL ARTICLES DISCUSS THE SUGGESTED COURSE REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES IN SECURITY ADMINISTRATION OR RELATED AREAS. SECURITY EDUCATION FOR CAMPUS SECURITY OFFICERS IS EMPHASIZED SINCE CAMPUS SECURITY HAS SPECIAL PROBLEMS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND INDUSTRIAL SECURITY, AND REQUIRES ANOTHER TYPE OF TRAINING. A FINAL ARTICLE PREVIEWS THE NEW ASIS GUIDELINES FOR SECURITY CURRICULUMS. BOOK REVIEWS AND A LIST OF COLLEGES PROVIDING PROGRAMS IN SECURITY ARE INCLUDED. FOR RELATED ARTICLES, SEE NCJ 47307-47311.
