The document discusses different types of security including: 1) Traditional state security focused on protecting borders from external threats. 2) Industrial security which encompasses infrastructure, access control, and employee security. 3) Human security which focuses on individual freedoms from fear, want, and ensuring basic needs and rights are met. 4) Security has evolved beyond state actors to include threats from non-state actors like terrorists. Ensuring security requires considering different stakeholders and perspectives.

2. Before my joining as a Security Executive, I served as a Commissioned Officer with the
Indian Army. During my service, I got the opportunity of deployment at Indo-Bangladesh
border, Indo-Pakistan border, Indo-Myanmar border and Indo-China border. These ground
scenarios taught me to define security as protecting the political and physical integrity of
sovereign nations like that of our country.
In its traditional form, security is centered on the preservation of the sovereign state from
external threats and the activities of other states. It thus requires internationally recognized
boundaries protected if necessary by military action, prohibition of the use of force
between states and non-intervention in the affairs of other states. Under the UN Charter,
individual state security is supported by collective security. The Security Council’s primary
responsibility is to maintain international peace and security. The Security Council can
authorize the use of all necessary means in response to a breach of the peace, threat to
the peace or act of aggression. The ‘collective security’ is defined simply as the Security
Council, rather than as any broader community of states or other interests. The veto
ensures the agreement of the five permanent members in any such collective action and is
thus a safeguard against contested action. The decision to use the veto is political. Well,
these were my learning when I was trained in the Officers’ Training Academy of Indian
Army and thereafter serving at International Borders of our nation.
But soon after I joined my new assignment, I saw and learnt a different aspect of security.
Though we name it as Industrial security, but it can always be seen in conjunction with
Human Security. This includes almost everything from Infrastructure, Installation,
Perimeter, Access control, Township security to all sorts of employee insecurities and so
on and so forth.
Coming to the International security it is assumed that the action of one or more states that
threatens the security of other state(s). This means that less attention has been paid to the
role of non-state actors, such as terrorists, extremists, in generating insecurity. However in
the context of terrorism this has now changed. For example post 9/11; the UN Security
Council recognized terrorist acts as constituting a threat to international security.
Human security denotes individual freedom from basic insecurities, whatever the root of
that insecurity may be. It is also caused by internal conflict, by collapse of state institutions
and vital installations like that of ours. It also emanates from violence and abusive actions
by non-state actors like the present day scenario of Terrorism and Naxalism. Human
insecurity is also caused by violations of economic and social rights such as the right to
food, health and housing, as well as civil and political rights such as fearing torture,
deprivation of life and liberty. However although denial of human rights contributes to
human insecurity and human insecurity generates further violations of human rights, it is a
wider concept than human rights. It encompasses physical security, economic security,
legal security, political security, food security, gender security and relational security.
Human security is perhaps best summarized by the inclusion of ‘freedom from fear’ and
‘freedom from want’ among the four freedoms proclaimed by President Roosevelt during
World War Two. The Report on the Commission on Human Security, May 2005 added that
it also includes the freedom to take action on one's own behalf, which is the enjoyment of

3. autonomy and self-esteem. Human security thus goes beyond and supplements
y d s
internation security
nal y.
Human se ecurity does not depend upon internatio
n onal law’s distinction betwee conflict,
ns en ,
military acction, inter
rnal affairs and polic action. In so-calle post-co
s ce ed onflict situa
ations, the
e
forms of vviolence typpically mut tate from c
conflicts lik bombing military attacks into criminal
ke gs, l
violence like murd der, lootinng, abduc ctions, kid dnappings, corruptio
, on, armed crimes,
d ,
organized crime etc Where the state government cannot guarantee security within the
d c. e e
state, oth actors may assu
her ume that r responsibil xample an occupying army or
lity, for ex g r
internation peacek
nal keepers lik Indian A
ke Army is doi Peace-
ing -keeping in Lebanon Somalia,

Congo etc Howeve such bod
c. er dies tend to perceive security within state security terms or in
o e w e t n
terms of the security of their own forc ces rather than in that of the human security of
r t e s f
civilians w
within the s
state.
To summ marize we can say that securiity in any form or at any lev does not have a
t a vel
measuring yard and the threat cannot be calculate correctly Hence t task of a security

Employee Theft fro
e om a retai store is a term that is use when an employ
il s t ed yee steals
s
merchanddise, food, cash, or supplies w

employee theft is ju theft…t

employee must “int tend” to permanently deprive their employer of th value of the item
p y he o m
stolen.
Employee theft can occur ju like sh
e n ust hoplifting by concealing merch
b handise in a purse,
n ,
pocket, or bag and removing it from the store. It can also oc
r e c ccur by ste
ealing cash allowing
h, g
others to steal merchandise, eating fo
, ood, and by refund, credit ca
b ard, or check fraud. .
Employee theft can sometime be char
e es rged as em mbezzlemen due to t
nt the trusted fiduciary
d y
status of the emplo
oyee. All of these me
f ethods lead to loss of inventor (shrinkage) and/or
d o ry r
profit for the merch
hant. Employee thef is an insidious cr
ft rime becauuse the merchant is s
paying a w benefits to the thief o n top of pa
