Inhaltsangabe

From the Files of a Security Expert Witness guides the reader through the experience of testifying in court on security issues in civil litigation. Written by one of the security profession's best-known expert witnesses, the book explores 36 cases that reflect the high drama of true crime, including kidnapping, rape, and murder. Many of these cases led to premises liability lawsuits based on claims of negligence, inadequate security, false arrest and imprisonment, excessive use of force, and others. Effective security specialists, whether or not they are considering becoming expert witnesses, should be familiar with the facts of these cases, their theories of liability and theories of defense. Encompassing aspects of criminal and tort law, all within the context of forensic security consulting, this book offers valuable insights from an experienced security professional.

A detailed collection of first-hand experiences in crime-related litigation from one of the security industry s most respected expert witnesses!

Written by one of America s best-known security expert witnesses, From the Files of a Security Expert Witness explores 35 lawsuits which reflect the tragic consequences of violent crime and gross negligence. These matters made their way into the civil court system in which the author played a role. Cases included in the book range from kidnapping, rape, and murder to tortious (wrongful) acts stemming from issues such as inadequate security measures dealing with public safety and false arrests of innocent people. From the Files of a Security Expert Witness provides a fresh and insightful journey through some very brutal crimes, clarifying the methodology of a true expert in forming his opinions and the civil justice litigation process thereafter, with its inevitable consequences.
