Great book for basic security concepts. Some sections (electronics/internet, etc) are outdated, but the book is still very helpful.
Excellent Basic Text on Private Security...

"Introduction to Private Security", by Karen Hess and Henry Wrobleski, was published in 1996 but holds up extremely well as a basic but comprehensive introduction into the expanding field of private and corporate security. In a series of well-organized and easy-to-read chapters, Hess and Wrobleski lay out the historical and legal basis for private security, its principles, methods, and techniques, and the threat environment in which it operates. Coverage includes chapters dedicated to industrial, retail, commercial, and institutional security, as well as sections on violence in the workplace and dealing with the media. Each chapter includes study questions and thought pieces to test understanding and retention. If this textbook has a shortfall, it is that the information security and terrorist threats to private industry have become much more robust since 1996. Hess and Wrobleski address the topics, but instructors on private security may wish to work in supplemental materials on these particular threats. These cautions noted, this textbook is highly recommended for use in teaching and understanding the basics of private and corporate security.
