  • Risky Facilities: Crime Radiators or Crime Absorbers? A Comparison of Internal and External Levels of Theft
    Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Kate Bowers
    Abstract:

    Objectives To undertake the first exploration of the nature of the relationship between Internal crime (those that happen within facilities) and external crime (those occurring outside but in the nearby locale of facilities). The following questions are addressed. Do those localities that suffer high volumes of crime Internally within their facilities also suffer high levels of crime in their immediate external environment? How is this influenced by the distribution of Internal Theft across facilities? What are the likely mechanisms for any relationship found? Methods Spatial regression is used to explore these relationships using data for 30,144 incidents of Theft from a Metropolitan area of the UK arranged into small 50 × 50 m grid squares. Variables used in the analysis include counts of external and Internal Theft, counts of victimized and ‘risky’ facilities, indicators of land-use and a proxy for the on-street population. Results There is found to be a strong positive relationship between Internal and external Theft that appears to be strengthened by the existence of facilities suffering particularly high crime volumes. Results suggest that Internal Theft problems precede external ones and that the physical concentration of chronically risky facilities is a particularly strong predictor of external Theft problems. Conclusions An argument is made that risky facilities act as crime ‘radiators’, causing crime in the immediate environment as well as Internally. This has implications for crime prevention policy in terms of facility placement and management.

  • Internal Theft Controls/Personnel Issues
    Introduction to Security, 2013
    Co-Authors: Robert J Fischer, Edward Halibozek, David C Walters
    Abstract:

    The largest threat to most businesses comes from within. Dishonest employees can cause more harm than external threats. It is therefore important that honest people are hired into the company. This is the job of the personnel or human relations department in cooperation with security. Security must ensure that the person hired is honest and then provide an environment that ensures continued honesty. A good security manager will know what he can and cannot do in backgrounding potential and current employees. Likewise, the security director will also know what to do when these safeguards fail.
