Abstract

The relative merits of the public demand, racial threat and economic inequality theses in explaining private police size are evaluated, using data drawn from 195 metropolitan areas, to assess the impact of the serious crime rate, the relative sizes of the Black and Hispanic populations and the Gini index on private police size. It is found that racial threat and economic inequality are more central to understanding private police size than the serious crime rate.
