Privatisation of intelligence-led policing: Auditors doing forensic work
Stockholm University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Criminology.
2018 (English)In: Moral issues in intelligence-led policing / [ed] Nicholas R. Fyfre; Helene O. Gundhus; Kira Vrist Rønn, Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge, 2018, p. 204-219Chapter in book (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

Today, intelligence-led policing is conducted by actors in the private sector, including accounting firms. This chapter focuses on a relatively new sector of the security industry – auditing firms. As a way to locate the auditing firms' forensic operations in the policing landscape, the chapter describes the basis of a schematic description of traditional police work. Companies and other organisations clearly have an interest in keeping costs down, and if it turns out to be cheaper to engage external expertise than to develop such competencies internally, it is natural that they should employ consultants from the auditing firms. Firms have thus been able to turn to private-sector actors to avoid becoming embroiled in conflict situations that they perceive as risky. One important difference between the police and private actors is that the former view breaches of norms as crimes, whereas the latter see them as business problems.
