How to avoid pitfalls
“The distinction between relational, physical and
procedural security is artificial. Security should be
viewed as an indivisible whole; ignore or neglect one
feature and security overall is weakened.”
T.Exworthy and J.Gunn (“Taking another tilt at high secure hospitals”, 2003)
