What are the growth patterns and dimensions of security industries in Australia?
Study one of the project examines the development of the Australian security industry across a number of key indicators, such as personnel, business size and financial turnover. The study shows an historical picture of the relative size, growth and scope of the private, and related public, arms of law enforcement and crime prevention services. The 1996 -2006 census data, has been analysed, together with Australian Bureau of Statistics Business data and current and historical licensing data from regulatory agencies, to develop an enlarged, up-to-date, assessment of the size and components of the industry as well as long term trends.
