Mapping Security : A Network Analysis
Overview
The terrorist attack of 9/11 has created and/ or accelerated increased pressure to change the manner in which traditional security and policing organizations are structured and behave. The 'network' argument posits that due to the unique nature of security threats existing today, security and policing have become more flexible, fluid and responsive, thus, differing from previous static, fixed and insular traditional approaches. This research suggests that transitions in organizational and operational practices are occurring, but are still in the early stages of development. It may be that the Theory of Networks will need to be redefined by the more complex realities of organizational limits in the real world of security agencies, taking into consideration the complex and changing mandates and core societal values.
