Summary

"As a response to private security's dominance in policing communal spaces, public policing service providers are tailoring their services to fulfill demands made by organizations willing to pay large sums of money for premium police services. This paper presents results from a representative Merchant Security Satisfaction Survey (n = 147) of downtown Yonge store owners and managers, over twenty interviews with members of the Toronto Police Service, and ethnographical research."
