I did not set out to change the way the world manages crime and corruption but that is the potential outcome of the successful prevention solution I founded 25 years ago in commerce. Be careful what you look for . . . I have been obstructed within and outside the security industry from further employing and developing the solution and this book is written to tell its story so that you can decide on its merits and future. After a brief 5 year career in policing I transferred the best practice policing methods into proprietary security management in commerce and quickly found that they did not prevent offending and, indeed, probably aggravated it. When highlighting this with peers I was told I was "going soft" and told to "get tougher" which simply posed more questions than answers so I began to answer those questions. I discovered that since policing was incepted over 2000 years ago, it has been society's expert purveyor of crime prevention method and advice and this has gone unquestioned and unchallenged over that time. What has evolved is that policing is the fence at the top of the cliff of societal crime management as well as the ambulance at the bottom creating a serious conflict of interest that has allowed the anomaly to be perpetuated and manifest itself into the systemic failure of our criminal justice system. This failed ideology has inexorably crept into the private security industry as best practice in prevention management that now manages crime and corruption in commerce and sports (and other areas) where it achieves the same failed prevention outcomes. Whether you are an athlete in sport, an employee in commerce or a citizen of society you will recognize this truth and this book gives you the opportunity to build a fence at the top of the cliff for the first time in the history of crime and corruption management.
