First sentence: Crime prevention and loss prevention are closely allied fields differing primarily in their forms of management and sources of authority. A crime prevention officer is a public servant who possesses police powers. A loss prevention manager or security director works in the private sector and receives whatever authority he possesses from his em- ployer, but he is not granted the powers of a public law enforcement officer.
Description: Vulnerability assessment and target hardening encompass very important components of the crime and loss prevention field. This book, written by a collection of specialists in the field, contains a wealth of practical, immediately-useful information.
