The third edition of the Handbook of Security, edited by Perpetuity Research director Martin Gill, has been published.

The book contains 45 contributions from the leading scholars in the world, with topics covering a vast range of issues from security and the margin footprint; the ways security is portrayed in films; the economic case for security; evaluations of different security approaches; and the role of security in tackling a range of offences, from burglary to terrorism to money laundering to corruption; to name but a few.

There are two new sections with chapters looking at ‘Better Security’ and the ‘Impact of Security’.

The book has already received positive reviews:
