In this particular unit we will discuss the Common Law Theory of Negligence. Please research this theory and state below how this applies to private security and how it will impact physical security design and practice.  Injecting your opinions is encouraged specifically in if you agree with these responsibilities being placed upon an organization merely by being there and open to their employees, and perhaps customers/public. This discussion is more involved than most. That said, your answers should be substantive (200-300 words) as well as contain an outside relevant source/references. Also, this lends well to debate, so this is expected as well.  Have fun exploring your opinions and debating each other in a respectful manner.

To help get you started, read the excerpt below:

Common law jurisdictions may differ slightly in the exact classification of the elements of negligence, but the elements that must be established in every negligence case are: duty, breach, causation, and damages. Negligence can be conceived of as having just three elements – conduct, causation and damages. More often, it is said to have four (duty, breach, causation and pecuniary damages) or five (duty, breach, actual cause, proximate cause, and damages). Each would be correct; depending on how much specificity someone is seeking. The broad agreement on the conceptual model, writes Professor Robertson of the University of Texas at Austin, “entails recognition that the five elements are best defined with care and kept separate. But in practice”, he goes on to warn, “Several varieties of confusion or conceptual mistakes have sometimes occurred.
