Includes bibliographical references. Security governance is a salient topic within South Africa, both in public media, discourse and academic literature. Currently, South African government holds a domineering mentality towards security and wishes to monopolize it. Nonetheless, there is a growing call for private security, both by citizens and the business sector in South Africa. Furthermore, private security is a polemic issue with debates around its effects on public good as well as its role within society. This dissertation underlines and addresses these issues. In order to accomplish this, an ethnographic field study was conducted to uncover the situation and the forms and issues that revolve around private security on a ground level, breaking away from the academic cacophony that has saturated the field. 2015-01-06T12:00:43Z 2015-01-06T12:00:43Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11542 eng application/pdf Institute of Criminology Faculty of Law University of Cape Town |
