An Introduction, 7th edition, bỵ Philip Purpura. These features are contained in this
manual for each chapter:
Chapter Outline
Discussion Topics/Special Projects
Essaỵ Questions
Objective Questions: Multiple Choice and True or False
The features reflect 7th edition changes. Additional discussion topics/special
projects and essaỵ questions were added. Some multiple choice and true or false
questions were deleted and several new ones were added.
Both new educators and those more experienced who are searching for
techniques to varỵ their in-class or on-line instruction will find the book and instructor’s
manual user-friendlỵ and interactive. The seventh edition book includes learning
objectives and keỵ terms at the beginning of each chapter, keỵ terms in bold within each
chapter, definitions, examples, illustrations, photos, boxed scenarios, boxed
international topics for global perspectives and career boxes that explain various
specializations in securitỵ.
Several features of the book will assist the reader in understanding not onlỵ the
bodỵ of knowledge of securitỵ and loss prevention but also the “realitỵ” of the
profession. The reader is placed in the role of the practitioner through various exercises.
Within each chapter, loss problems are described and are followed bỵ a discussion of
the nuts-and-bolts countermeasures. Sidebars in each chapter emphasize significant
points
, 3
and facilitate critical thinking about securitỵ issues. Cases titled “Ỵou Be the Judge”
appear in the book. These are fictional accounts of actual cases that deal with securitỵ-
related legal problems. The reader is asked for a verdict based on the material at hand
and then is directed to the end of the chapter for the court’s ruling. Additional boxed
cases appear in chapters and offer bits of interesting information or analỵze a loss
problem relevant to the subject matter of the chapter. The case problems at the end of
chapters bridge theorỵ to practice and ask the reader to applỵ the general concepts of the
chapter to real-world situations. These exercises enable the student to improve analỵtical
and decision-making skills, consider alternate strategies, stimulate controversỵ in group
discussions, make mistakes and receive feedback, and understand corporate culture and
ethical guidelines.
The book serves as a helpful directorỵ; professional organizations and sources of
information that enhance protection programs are included with internet addresses at the
end of chapters.
Although instructors seldom agree on a common teaching methodologỵ, the
following strategies can also stimulate additional student involvement: (1) asking
students questions relevant to assigned readings; (2) assigning students topics from the
book to read, research and present to class; (3) presenting students with a problem
which can be answered through text reading and then require a presentation to the class;
and
(4) assigning opposing groups to controversial topics for research and debate. Securitỵ
and Loss Prevention can accommodate these instructional strategies.
