Security
and Loss Prevention: An Introduction (5th Edition)
by Philip P. Purpura, CPP, Florence Darlington Technical College, Florence, SC
Since the first edition was published in 1983, much has changed in this arena. In the past five years alone, security awareness and the need for added business continuity and preparedness considerations has been uniquely highlighted. This edition is fully updated and encompasses the breadth and depth of considerations involved in implementing general loss prevention concepts and security programs within an organization. The book provides proven strategies to prevent and reduce incidents of loss due to legal issues, theft and other crimes, fire, accidental or intentional harm from employees, as well as the many ramifications of corporate mismanagement. The new edition contains a brand new terrorism chapter, along with coverage on background investigations, protection of sensitive information, internal threats and considerations at select facilities (nuclear, DoD, government and federal).
