私人保安已成为现代北美警务的一个普遍特征,这既是因为它自1960年以来的快速增长,也是因为它已经侵入了公共警察的传统领域。由于这一发展被视为刑事司法制度的补充,其对社会控制的重要性尚未得到承认。本文追溯了1960年以来加拿大和美国私人保安的发展,考察了其目前普遍存在的原因,并探讨了其基本特征:非专业化,以受害者为导向,依赖组织资源作为制裁手段。我们的结论是,私人保安对社会控制的性质产生了重大影响。
Private security has become a pervasive feature of modern North American policing, both because of its rapid growth since 1960 and because it has invaded the traditional domain of the public police. Because this development has been viewed as an addendum to the criminal justice system, its significance for social control has not been recognized. This paper traces the development of private security in Canada and the United States since 1960, examines the reasons for its present pervasiveness, and explores its essential features: it is non- specialized, victimoriented, and relies on organizational resources as sanctions. We conclude that private security is having a major impact on the nature of social control.
