Security Law and Methods
Security Law and Methods examines suggested security methods designed to diminish or negate the consequence of crime and misconduct, and is an attempt to understand both the legal exposures related to crime and the security methods designed to prevent crime. The clear and concise writing of this groundbreaking work, as well as its insightful analysis of specific cases, explains crime prevention methods in light of legal and security principles.
Divided into five parts, Security Law and Methods discusses the topics of premises liability and negligence, intentional torts and claims, agency and contract based claims, legal authority and liability, and the subject of terrorism. It also offers an evocative look at security issues that may arise in the future. The book serves as a comprehensive and insightful treatment of security, and is an invaluable addition to the current literature on security and the law.

Security Management Review:
With this book, author James F. Pastor attempts to weave together security standards, best practices, and the law to help prevent incidents that take place in commercial and public environments and to help the lawyers who litigate civil premises liability cases. He more than accomplishes his goal...
Although there are other competent works in the field of private security law, Pastor breaks new ground with two full chapters exploring exposures and liabilities in the security industry and in public law enforcement, resulting from the elevated threat of terrorist acts in the United States.
The author’s skillful use of case law to analyze liability issues, coupled with his suggested security remedies, makes this book useful to those who have limited time to read and decipher legal decisions that could impact their security plans and procedures. I recommend this book as required reading for any security manager.
