After reading the article we can understand that the issue of private security and its roles and definition differ from person to person. Hallcrest I stressed on the fact that the definition of private security must encompass the physical, information and employment related security within its scope. The report by Hallcrest I can be considered as one of the preliminary reports which spoke about the changes in private security personnel and expenditures compared to public policing. Kakalik and Wildhorn give a very basic definition of private security which covers the private organizations and individuals that give any and every service concerned with security (Strom & Berzofsky,2010).
