Description
Summary:The private security industry generates billions in profit and is still growing rapidly. One congressional advocate of increased regulation says that national labor statistics indicate more jobs will be created in the private security field than in any other category over the next decade. Industry executives estimate that the number of private guards will surge to two million by the year 2002. As a result of changes in social factors, today business people and middle-class consumers have a very different perspective on life. Using private security guard services is sometimes perceived as a matter of social distinction in terms of status and prestige among many Americans. Despite the fact that high crime rates are declining as a result of the country's robust economy, the effect of television and other media has contributed to a dramatic rise in public awareness of security issues. Consequently, the private security industry has been growing faster and faster to meet the needs of those seeking progressive solutions to problems of crime and violence.
