Security Science integrates the multi-disciplined practice areas of security into a single structured body of knowledge, where each chapter takes an evidence-based approach to one of the core knowledge categories. The authors give practitioners and students the underlying scientific perspective based on robust underlying theories, principles, models or frameworks. Demonstrating the relationships and underlying concepts, they present an approach to each core security function within the context of both organizational security and homeland security. The book is unique in its application of the scientific method to the increasingly challenging tasks of preventing crime and foiling terrorist attacks. Incorporating the latest security theories and principles, it considers security from both a national and corporate perspective, applied at a strategic and tactical level. It provides a rational basis for complex decisions and begins the process of defining the emerging discipline of security science.

"Two Australian academics...examine what evidence based information is available. The book, intended as a text, is likely to appeal to English-reading audiences outside of the US. Security practitioners here likely will find valuable insights applicable to security operations for use abroad... Smith and Brooks deliver an interesting read."--Security Letter, April 2014 "Security practitioners who have wanted a text that links security management principles with the proven concepts of the scientific method need look no further...This text is critical to security managers at any level who wish to enhance their role in their organization."--SecurityManagement.com, February 2014 "Proclaiming to establish the knowledge domain of security on a scientific and professional foundation, Smith...and Brooks...develop a theoretical construct for understanding the concept and management of security and the management of security risk that is based on a hierarchy of concepts and principles associated with asset protection and the processes to achieve asset protection."--Reference & Research Book News, December 2013
Make the most effective evidence-based decisions to secure your organization and its assets!
