▼ Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It is a major public health problem with a high mortality rate in developing countries such as Ghana. Security officers have high prevalence of traditional risk factors as well as occupation-specific risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Traditional risk factors of cardiovascular diseases include hypertension, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, cigarette smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle. Occupation-specific risk factors include sudden physical exertion, acute and chronic psychological stress, shift work, and noise. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors among security officers of the University of Ghana, Legon campus. A self- administered questionnaire was used to obtain data about the security officers. The arterial blood pressure, weight and height of the security officers were checked by means of an electronic sphygmomanometer, a mechanical weighing scale with a stadiometer respectively. Data obtained was analyzed using Stata 13 SE and Excel 2010. A total of 191 security officers participated in this study. Prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension were 45 % and 37 % respectively. The mean systolic blood pressure was 135.3 mmHg (SD-22.75) while the mean diastolic blood pressure was 87.5mmHg (SD-15.41). The mean age of the participants was 43 years (SD-10.80) with 73.8 % of them being 35 years or above. The mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 24.6 kgm-2 (SD-3.94). The mean stress score was 20.4 (SD-4.66). Statistically significant associations were found between blood pressure and age (p-value<0.05), stress score (p value<0.05), BMI (p value<0.001) and years of work (p-value<0.05). Age was significantly associated with hypertension after adjusting for other independent variables. A high prevalence of hypertension was found which was associated with the older age group, overweight/obesity, longer duration of service and having Senior Secondary School education or higher. Keywords: Cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, security officer Advisors/Committee Members: Stephens, J.K (advisor).

▼ The primary objective of the current study was to establish the impact that certain push factors (namely, job satisfaction and organizational commitment) have on the intent to quit amongst private security officers. Literature indicate that a strong negative relationship exist between both job satisfaction and organizational commitment and the employee's intent to quit his or her employing organization. Moreover, a number of studies indicate that push factors, such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment, are antecedents to turnover intentions and that both these variables are negatively related to intent to quit (Chen, 2006; Elangovan, 2001; Slattery & Selvarajan, 2005). "For too long, private security has been rated an inferior job" (Potgieter, Ras & Neser, 2008, p. 39). Berg (2007) proffers that government officials have frequently commented on the poor treatment of security officers in terms of the long hours, low pay and job instability. The current study investigates whether security officers are satisfied with their jobs, and if not, which facets of satisfaction they are least satisfied with. Furthermore, the current study attempted to establish which of the two variables (namely, job satisfaction and organizational commitment) predicts intent to quit better. The literature presents opposing views with regards to this; however, various researchers (Bateman & Strasser, 1984; Ben-Bakr, Al-Shammari, Jefri & Prasad, 1994; Slattery & Salvarajan, 2005; Elangovan, 2001) postulate that organizational commitment predicts intent to quit better than job satisfaction. Despite the differences in views in the literature, there is overwhelming evidence that both job satisfaction as well as organizational commitment are strong predictors of intent to quit (Chen, 2006; Firth, Mellor, Moore & Loquet, 2004; Igbaria & Greenhaus, 1992; Slattery & Selvarajan, 2005; Tumwesigye, 2010) and it is a topic worthwhile investigating, especially in a South African private security industry context. Purposeful sampling was used to select the sample for the current study. Security officers with a grade 10 qualification and higher were selected whilst those with qualifications lower than grade 10 were excluded from the selection process as the researcher felt that respondents may have found it difficult to interpret the questions as a result of their literacy level which, in turn, might have an impact on the results of the study. The sample of the current study consisted of (n=143) private security officers employed at a private security organization operating in the Northern suburbs of the broader Cape Town area. Three standardized questionnaires and a self-developed biographical questionnaire were used to collect the data for the current study. The Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) which was developed by Spector in 1985 was used to assess an employee's attitude towards his/her job and which facet of his/her job he/she is satisfied or dissatisfied with. The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) developed by Porter and Smith in… Advisors/Committee Members: Jano, Rukhsana (advisor).

▼ University institutions are already overwhelmed by academic challenges without having to worry about crimes that plague the university campuses. The provision of and daily efforts of campus protective services are therefore important in maintaining a peaceful, safe and conducive learning environment. However, constant reports and the increasing levels of crime on campus have led to the call for researchers to investigate the determining factors of these crimes. One critical aspect is that research efforts so far have been focused on the perspective of students on campus crimes and safety; and have not adequately considered to capture the perspective of the campus protective services or security officers. Security officers are often looked upon or expected to provide safety on campus and are, therefore, challenged to meet the expected standard to prevent crimes on campus. The focus of this study is, therefore, grounded in investigating the perceptions of security officers on campus safety at UKZN Howard College Campus. In order to comprehensively capture their perceptions, the following objectives were examined: the types of crime that occur on campus, the challenges encountered in dealing with these crimes, intervention remedies or response to these crimes and their effectiveness. The study adopted one-on-one in-depth interviews methodological approach to generate its data. Empirical findings from the study revealed that there are a number of crimes that disrupt the proper functioning of and daily lives of the university community. These crimes include but are not limited to property theft, assaults and alcohol use. Findings also unfolded that security officers’ that attempts to prevent these crimes have often been encountered by challenges which have, in turn, adversely affected the intervention remedies ever put in place to arrest the horrible situation of crimes on campuses. Based on the research study’s findings, recommendations were made with an intention to assist on-campus protective services in improving their measures in crime prevention.

▼ The focus of most empirical studies on correctional education pertains to the inmates. The purpose of this study was to understand better the dimensions of influence that affect the instructional decision-making of correctional education teachers. This study measured two broad dimensions of influence: interpersonal dimensions of influence (prison administrators, correctional officers, other correctional educators, and inmates) and contextual dimensions of influence (classroom characteristics and security/safety). In addition, this study measured the level of power correctional education teachers believed that they had to make instructional decisions in the classroom. This study used a self-completed questionnaire that was mailed to correctional education teachers throughout the United States who held membership in the Correctional Education Association. This study received a random sample of 427 completed questionnaires from correctional education teachers from 38-states, with a 69.3% rate of response. The findings suggest that five dimensions of influence had a positive affect on the teachers’ instructional decisions in a prison facility. The rank order of the five positive dimensions of influence include (1) security/safety, (2) classroom characteristics, (3) other correctional educators, (4) inmates, and (5) prison administrators. The sixth dimension of influence, correctional officers, was found not to have a positive influence on the correctional teachers’ instructional decisions. A simple regression analysis suggests that the other correctional educator dimension of influence was a statistically significant predictor of the correctional teachers’ power to make instructional decisions in the classroom. In addition, the correctional officer dimension of influence was statistically significant in not having an affect upon the correctional teachers’ power to make instructional decisions in the classroom. A disjoint cluster analysis was used to group the correctional teachers into five distinct cluster types in relation to the six dimensions of influence. Among the five cluster types, the teachers are characterized by (1) high administrative influence, (2) high classroom influence and low administrative and correctional officer influence, (3) high overall influence, (4) low correctional officer, inmate, and classroom influences, and (5) very low overall influence. Finally, this study identified fifteen statistically significant independent variable predictors among the six dimensions of influence. The gender of the correctional education teachers was a statistically significant independent variable predictor of four dimensions of influence. The findings suggests that the four dimensions of influence, security/safety, classroom characteristics, other correctional educators, and inmates, affect the instructional decision-making for the female teachers and not for the male teachers.

Varnost je ena izmed osnovnih človeških potreb, vendar ni več dosegljiva vsakomur. Zasebno varovanje je tako postalo del vseh javnih in zasebnih ustanov. Delo varnostnikov je odgovorno in od njih zahteva, da ga opravijo zakonito, učinkovito in hitro ter v skladu z Zakonom o zasebnem varovanju. Kompetenčni center za izobraževanje, izpopolnjevanje in usposabljanje varnostnega osebja, ki deluje v okviru Čas – Zasebne šole za varnostno izobraževanje d.o.o., ima namen z notranjimi, obdobnimi in specialističnimi usposabljanji, izboljšati strokovno znanje varnostnikov. Namen magistrskega dela je proučiti poznavanje ukrepov in drugih sredstev varnostnikov pred in po notranjem usposabljanju. Prav tako bomo raziskovali zadovoljstvo varnostnikov s poklicno kariero in njihovo zadovoljstvo z notranjim usposabljanjem ter kako se njihova mnenja razlikujejo glede na starost, izobrazbo in delovno dobo. V teoretičnem delu magistrskega dela smo predstavili teoretična izhodišča in Kompetenčni center za izobraževanje, izpopolnjevanje in usposabljanje varnostnega osebja. V empiričnem delu pa smo na podlagi analiz z anketo zbranih podatkov ugotovili, da varnostniki slabo poznajo svoje ukrepe in druga sredstva, notranje usposabljanje pa jim je to znanje občutno izboljšalo. Varnostniki so bili z notranjim usposabljanjem zelo zadovoljni

dobra polovica je zadovoljnih s svojo poklicno kariero: bolj so zadovoljni starejši, manj izobraženi in dalj časa delujoči kolegi.

Security remains one of the basic human needs, but it is not any longer accessible to everybody. Private security has become part of every public and private institution. The work of security officers is very demanding and full of responsibilities. They have to do it legally, efficiently, fast and in compliance with the Private Security Act. The Competence Centre for education, ongoing training, and training of security personnel works within Čas, which is a Private school for security education, offers internal, periodical and specialized training courses with a purpose to improve expert knowledge of security officers. The aim of this master thesis is to collect information about the knowledge of actions and other means of security officers before and after internal training. The research will also be made to investigate how security officers are satisfied with their career, how they are satisfied with the internal education and if opinions of security officers differ in coherence with their age, gender and years of work. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the theoretical starting points and the Security Competence Centre itself, such as on going training and training of security personnel. In the empirical part of the thesis presents the analysed data collected by a survey. We found out that the security officers have poor knowledge about their actions and other means before internal training and that it is significantly improved after the training. The satisfaction with the internal education is very high. Regarding security officers' job satisfaction, only…

▼ This empirical study discusses how the police of a non-transitional society in Latin America responded to the implementation of human rights? On the basis of qualitative and quantitative data that was collected during fieldwork periods between 2003 and 2006, it evaluates the effect of police human rights strategies upon the Costa Rican national police system and urban police units of the Public Force in San José. Thereby exploring whether the implementation of formal human rights law relates to change in the social systems in which law enforcement officials operate. As a result of police reform that was implemented in the 1990's and early in the 2000's, Costa Rican police officers are increasingly stimulated to comply with human rights. Yet they also resist the kind of change they generate. The paradoxes of Costa Rican public security are that despite widespread police reform, fundamental characteristics of the pre-1994 police system, such as its fragmented organisation, the strong civil-political control, the corruption, the dependency upon international police assistance, the lack of police professionalism and resources, persists. Furthermore, despite relatively low crime and violence rates, political and socio-economic stability and not having an army, the development of public security and policing in Costa Rica has been similar to its neighbouring countries. In total there are nine chapters in the book. The introduction is followed by a theoretical chapter, two contextual chapters, four empirical chapters and a final reflective chapter. By reviewing the literature, key concepts of the book are introduced in chapter 2. Chapters 3 and 4 provide the socio-political and institutional background for the analysis. The effect of implementing human rights within the Costa Rican police is considered in chapters 5, 6, 7 and 8. Hence, on the basis of key police human rights themes, several case studies of police human rights strategies. The themes these case studies illustrate are; police preparation (selection and training), strengthening law enforcement, police accountability and community policing. Each chapter discusses the implementation of the police human rights strategies within the national police system and urban police units. In the last chapter the preceding analysis is reflected upon.

▼ Despite an increase in the number of female police officers in U.S. police agencies, female representation in supervisory (sergeant and lieutenant) and command (captain, assistant chief and chief) positions in most agencies is limited. This research study focuses on the promotional aspirations as an explanation of limited female representation with attention to the decision-making criteria female police officers use when deciding to participate in the promotional process. This study also examines the institutional, political, organizational structures, and/or personal factors which may impact the female police officers’ decisions to participate in the promotion process. And, this study examines a factor mentioned but not researched by Archbold and Hassell (2009) of how being married to a fellow police officer (or part of a “cop couple”) can restrict the upward mobility of female police officers. Prior studies of promotional aspirations of female police officers as an explanation of the limited representation in supervisory and command positions were limited to one police department for each study. This study expands the scope of promotional aspirations and other factors with inquiries sent to 135 local police agencies with 14, 299 sworn officers in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Of the 14, 299 sworn officers, 1,658 are female. Twenty-one of the 135 agencies with 451 sworn female officers responded to the inquiry (15.5% response rate). Twenty-seven of the 451 (6% response rate) female police officers who met the eligibility requirements for promotion participated in the semi-structured interviews, utilizing a questionnaire modified from a questionnaire by Archbold and Hassell (2009). Interview data were analyzed by the primary researcher and a secondary researcher without law enforcement experience to identify primary dimensions with supporting conceptual categories and properties. Findings of this dissertation study revealed the primary factors female police officers use deciding whether or not to pursue promotion were shift assignment, duty assignment and the impact on children/family life. Limitations of the study were the small sample size and limited region of the country calling for caution when generalizing of findings. Additionally, there was disproportionate representation from each of the five states. Although each state was represented by a female officer, some states only had one officer represent it while others (such as Wisconsin-13 and Michigan-9) had multiple representatives. By identifying factors female police officers utilize when deciding whether or not to pursue promotion, the researcher was able to make recommendations for potential administrative changes which may encourage more female police officers to pursue promotion.

▼

En matière de responsabilité civile des professionnels du chiffre et du droit, l’indemnisation est intégralement réalisée par l’assurance privée. Il existe donc, à cet égard, une nette différence entre l’indemnisation dans le domaine de la responsabilité médicale et dans le domaine objet de la recherche entreprise. Pourtant, les enjeux économiques y seraient d’importance supérieure. Une mutualisation optimale est souvent réalisée par les instances professionnelles du chiffre et du droit. Celles-ci ont souscrit des contrats d’assurance collective créés et proposés dès le dix-neuvième siècle par un même assureur, à présent en situation de quasi monopole de fait.De 2001 à 2010, plus de 100 000 sinistres ont été déclarés par des professionnels du chiffre et du droit auprès de cet apériteur dominant. Un échantillonnage approfondi a permis de constater que l’indemnisation n’a pas toute l’efficacité espérée, étant elle-même contrecarrée par l’action du système assurantiel de défense professionnelle fédéré autour de comités de gestion concertée. Ce système aurait ainsi pris le contrôle de l’indemnisation, de sorte à réaliser une forme d’écrasement des préjudices indemnisables, notamment par le jeu des règlements extrajudiciaires prédominants. En même temps, ce système ne serait pas toujours en mesure de protéger pleinement cette incroyable mutualisation qu’il a pourtant réalisée avec succès. En effet, une altération de la responsabilisation des professionnels assurés pourrait être à la fois la cause et la conséquence de cette importante sinistralité pour laquelle les techniques assurantielles d’autodiscipline semblent être tombées en léthargie, au détriment de l’indemnisation.

In the field of the civil liability of law and accounting practitioners, the compensation of victims is entirely carried out by a private insurer. There is, therefore, in this respect, a plain difference between compensation in the field of medical liability and compensation in the area addressed in this research. Nevertheless, the economic stakes would be rather higher. An optimal mutuality is often done by law and accounting professional bodies. They have entered into collective insurance contracts created and proposed as from the nineteenth century by a sole insurer, today in an almost situation of de facto monopoly. From 2001 to 2010, more than 100 000 claims have been declared by law and accounting professions together with the dominant insurer. A detailed sampling has enabled us to notice that the compensation does not have its entire hoped efficiency, itself being thwarted by the insurance system’s action of professional defense federated around concerted management committees. This system has therefore taken control of the compensation process, in a way to conceive a form of crushing of the prejudices entitled to compensation, mainly through amicable settlements. At the same time, the abovementioned system is not always in a position to fully protect this incredible mutuality that it has however carried out with success. The impairment which…

▼ After sixteen intensive months, I quit my employed position as a security guard at a local hospital. By drawing on my autoethnographic experiences in the form of “ethnographic fiction writing”, as well as eight interviews with my former male colleagues, I explore how the guards’ constructions of masculinity intersect with their security assessment and subsequent application of force, chemical incarceration, and other coercive security tactics on involuntarily-committed mental health patients. The narratives are framed by the available literature on gender and masculinity within the security, police, prison and military institutions, as well as the theoretical notions of gendered institutions (Acker), hegemonic masculinity (Connell & Messerschmidt), doing gender (West & Zimmerman), and Dave Holmes’s application of Foucauldian biopolitical power to forensic healthcare settings. These concepts are used in tandem with a creative methodological tool to reveal the “messy”, “bloody” and “gendered” ways in which hospital life unfolds between the guard, the nurse, and the patient prisoner. By escaping more traditional forms of academic writing, I am able to weave raw, sensitive and reflexive thoughts and emotions into the research design and analysis. The analysis is divided into two narratives: “Us” and “Them”. “Us” emphasizes the gendered ways in which the hospital guard learns, reproduces, resists, lives up, or fails to live up to the masculine codes of the profession. Here, the guard must confront cultural demands to demonstrate physical prowess, authority and heroism during a patient battle. “Them” explores how hegemonic masculinity shapes the hierarchical and coercive relations between the guard, the nurse, and the patient, and reinforces psychiatrized discourses that promote punishment, pain, bureaucracy and control. Overall, these findings call for the abolition of physical restraint, chemical incarceration and other coercive security measures within our healthcare institutions, and encourage future research to give voice to the lived experiences of women guards and security management teams.

▼ This empirical study discusses how the police of a non-transitional society in Latin America responded to the implementation of human rights? On the basis of qualitative and quantitative data that was collected during fieldwork periods between 2003 and 2006, it evaluates the effect of police human rights strategies upon the Costa Rican national police system and urban police units of the Public Force in San José. Thereby exploring whether the implementation of formal human rights law relates to change in the social systems in which law enforcement officials operate. As a result of police reform that was implemented in the 1990's and early in the 2000's, Costa Rican police officers are increasingly stimulated to comply with human rights. Yet they also resist the kind of change they generate. The paradoxes of Costa Rican public security are that despite widespread police reform, fundamental characteristics of the pre-1994 police system, such as its fragmented organisation, the strong civil-political control, the corruption, the dependency upon international police assistance, the lack of police professionalism and resources, persists. Furthermore, despite relatively low crime and violence rates, political and socio-economic stability and not having an army, the development of public security and policing in Costa Rica has been similar to its neighbouring countries. In total there are nine chapters in the book. The introduction is followed by a theoretical chapter, two contextual chapters, four empirical chapters and a final reflective chapter. By reviewing the literature, key concepts of the book are introduced in chapter 2. Chapters 3 and 4 provide the socio-political and institutional background for the analysis. The effect of implementing human rights within the Costa Rican police is considered in chapters 5, 6, 7 and 8. Hence, on the basis of key police human rights themes, several case studies of police human rights strategies. The themes these case studies illustrate are; police preparation (selection and training), strengthening law enforcement, police accountability and community policing. Each chapter discusses the implementation of the police human rights strategies within the national police system and urban police units. In the last chapter the preceding analysis is reflected upon.
