ABSTRACT
Generally, the privatization of law enforcement connotes the surrender of state obligations to private-sector entities, for instance, the hiring of security firms, or private military-like organizations to conduct operations in conflict zones. This is not the main subject matter of the current research in this book. The book is mainly concerned with private organizations conducting their own internal investigations of possible criminal conduct. However, there is reluctance in the public sector to investigate issues that have already been investigated and concluded in the private sector. When private fraud examiners typically conclude that misconduct has occurred, but no crime, busy police units tend to avoid investigating the matter any further.
