Question 3 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security
Which of the following best demonstrates the trend toward partnerships among private security, law enforcement, and the U.S. military?
Answer

If the military hires private security for jobs it does not have personnel to handle, then the military must maintain the security agents according to military law.
B
When law envorcement and private security partner, they have no legal system to monitor this partnership.
C
International law seems to be the only law under which these partnerships can work.
D
As partnerships become more common, the threat of abusing power becomes more certain as each group applies the law differently.
Explanation
The trend toward partnerships brings together groups that operate under different legal rules and oversight systems. That can create confusion about accountability and increase the risk that power will be abused. Choice D best expresses this concern, while the other choices make overly absolute claims about which laws apply or how the partnerships are monitored.
