Johnston "argues that policing, far from being the exclusive
preserve
of public personnel, is an activity undertaken by a mixture of
public, private and quasi-public agents. His book reviews the
history
of private policing, examines developments of current concern,
and
finally considers the implications of these developments both for
the
sociology of policing and for a more general understanding of
public-private relations in the late twentieth century."
