A response to duty out of control in negligent security cases article by Justin R. Parafinczuk. The consumer’s perspective.
The author asks what a property owner should do if they have a business in a high-crime area? He suggests that a business owner will be unable to secure a private security contractor because they are unwilling to take the risk of providing security due to a high risk of liability. This is not entirely accurate. Security can be had for even the highest crime areas, but it may be more expensive. Further, the author ignores the 800-pound gorilla in the room, liability insurance to cover the risk created by the business activity.
