Fifth Edition
By
Philip Purpura, CPP, Florence Darlington Technical College, Florence Darlington Technical College, Florence, SC, U.S.
Description
Since the first edition of Security and Loss Prevention was published in 1983, much has changed in security and loss prevention
considerations. In the past five years alone, security awareness and the need for added business continuity and preparedness considerations
has been uniquely highlighted given events such as Katrina, 9/11, the formation of the Department of Homeland Security, and the increase
in world terrorist events.
This edition of Security and Loss Prevention is fully updated and encompasses the breadth and
depth of considerations involved in implementing general loss prevention concepts and security programs within an organization. The
book provides proven strategies to prevent and reduce incidents of loss due to legal issues, theft and other crimes, fire, accidental
or intentional harm from employees, as well as the many ramifications of corporate mismanagement. The new edition contains a brand new
terrorism chapter, along with coverage on background investigations, protection of sensitive information, internal threats, and considerations
at select facilities (nuclear, DoD, government and federal).
Author Philip Purpura once again demonstrates why students and professionals
alike rely on this best-selling text as a timely, reliable resource.
Audience
Criminal justice and security academic programs, physical security professionals, retail security professionals, security managers, and
security consultants.
In addition, law enforcement professionals, investigations professionals, risk and contingency planning professionals.
