Abstract

Although the provision of security is one of the state's core functions, governance arrangements in this policy field include different types of actors. But while the privatisation of security has been studied extensively, little is known about civil society contributions to security production. This chapter examines the protection of Jewish facilities against antisemitic attacks as a case study, demonstrating that non-profit organisations can be highly relevant in internal security, especially in the form of hybrid governance arrangements. It presents an analysis of the British Community Security Trust (CST) and its collaboration with public security agencies and discusses questions of accountability and legitimacy. The contribution highlights the importance of widening the scope of the debate on hybrid security governance by considering the perspectives of affected communities to a greater extent.
