摘要

本文是首批探讨私人保安行业在新冠疫情期间的作用和地位的文章之一。以英国的案例为例，它说明了即使大多数私人保安人员在这个危机时期被指定为“关键工作人员”，履行对国家基础设施和法律秩序至关重要的一系列职能，公众仍然缓慢或不愿承认该部门的贡献。它认为，这种倾向反映了长期以来公众对私人保安行业的矛盾心理或不安，这最终可以追溯到以国家为中心的警务领域的社会学地形。

Critical workers? Private security, public perceptions and the Covid-19 pandemic.

This article is among the first to explore the role and status of the private security industry during the Covid-19 pandemic. Focussing on the UK case, it illustrates how even though most private security officers were designated as 'critical workers' in this time of crisis, performing a range of functions essential to national infrastructure and law and order, the public have been slow or reluctant to recognise the contribution of the sector. It argues that this disposition is reflective of a longstanding public ambivalence or unease towards the private security industry which can ultimately be traced to the state-centric sociological terrain of the policing field.
