Abstract
Partnerships between the public and private sectors - including police and private security - are promoted as providing a synergetic effect in crime prevention. This chapter considers both the potential benefits and risks of these partnerships, and reports on diverse examples from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Australia, most of which have demonstrated large reductions in target crimes. Despite the fact that police and private security operate on quite different principles of pri- vate and public interests, there does seem to be scope for enhanced relationships that provide wide benefits to diverse stakeholders. With this in mind, the chapter concludes with a set of guiding principles for ensuring accountability and optimal outcomes in crime prevention partnerships.
