Click here to read the July 2014 print issue of Professional Security Magazine online.

Among the features – besides the regular pages of ‘spending the budget’ and new products, about installers and Internet Protocol – are words and pictures on a cyber-security conference at the University of Coventry, and the annual counter-fraud and forensic accounting conference at the University of Portsmouth.

We have interviews with the senior Police Scotland man who is security director for the July 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games; and the woman in charge at the safety charity the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, on why stalking is a workplace security issue.

Una Riley our regular interviewer rounds off her talk with Californian security and protection man and author Gavin De Becker. Jim Gannon welcomes the Home Secretary Theresa May’s work towards a law against ‘modern slavery’. We review approvingly the first of the three-part Channel 4 documentary series CCTV: Caught on Camera, and a BBC TV documentary on York Minster that included the guard force at the historic building.

The main article of the month is about designing out crime. UK figures in the field point out that the gains in using environmental and planning features to make it harder for criminals to find opportunities are being lost in the Coalition Government’s name of cutting red tape and making it easier (and cheaper) for house builders to build.
