NEW  Crime Analysis: Assessing Threats to Optimize Security (Kindle Edition)

While the daily assessment of terror threats applies primarily to security professionals who are charged with protecting critical infrastructure assets, such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and transportation ports, most security professionals focus on terrorism as a high risk, low probability concern which needs to be addressed on an irregular basis. Once terrorism contingency plans, emergency procedures, and business continuity plans are established, security professionals can once again turn their attention to the daily risks that threaten an organization’s assets. Everyday crimes are the most common threat facing security professionals in protecting their assets (targets) and a thorough assessment of the specific nature of crime can reveal possible weaknesses in a facility’s security posture and provide a guide to effective solutions. A full understanding of everyday crime at specific sites allows security professionals to select and implement appropriate countermeasures to reduce the opportunity for such incidents to occur again.




NEW  Strategic Security Management supports data driven security that is measurable, quantifiable and practical. Written for security professionals and other professionals responsible for making security decisions as well as for security management and criminal justice students, this text provides a fresh perspective on the risk assessment process. It also provides food for thought on protecting an organizations assets, giving decision makers the foundation needed to climb the next step up the corporate ladder.

Strategic Security Management fills a definitive need for guidelines on security best practices. The book also explores the process of in-depth security analysis for decision making, and provides the reader with the framework needed to apply   security concepts to specific scenarios. Advanced threat, vulnerability, and risk assessment techniques are presented as the basis for security strategies. These concepts are related back to establishing effective
security programs, including program implementation, management, and evaluation. The book also covers metric-based security resource allocation of countermeasures, including security procedures, personnel, and electronic  measures.
