The risk and security industry has grown rapidly in recent years largely as a consequence of
increasing regulation and governance in many parts of the industrialized world. Risk Crisis
and Security Management not only considers how risk crisis and security may be linked in an
organizational context but also reviews the role of simulation and gaming in responding to
these phenomena. Risk remains a subject of intense social and political controversy. How we
manage risk appears to dominate every debate from providing social services such as health
transport and public safety to the regulation of corporate activity. Risk Crisis and Security
Management is vital reading for all students of any of these subjects hoping to make it in the
real world as well as being highly relevant for practising security professionals. Key
