This latest edition of Effective Security Management retains the qualities that made the previous editions a standard of the profession: a readable, comprehensive guide to the planning, staffing, and operation of the security function within an organization. All chapters are completely updated with the focus on practical methods that the reader can put to use in managing an effective security department.
The Fourth Edition covers current computer applications that can help in the administrative, managerial, and supervisory aspects of the security function. In addition, two new chapters address employee management in detail. The first, Lifestyle Management for Managers, will discuss motivation at work: the how, when, where, what and why of self-motivation for the boss. The second, The Departing Employee, will discuss the exit interview and the information that can be gained in that process.
Also, back by popular demand, are the author's "Jackass Management Traits," 32 humorous portrayals of negative management traits that illustrate very real problems that can undermine the effectiveness of supervisors and managers.
* Includes a new chapter on the use of statistics as a security management tool
* Contains complete updates to every chapter while retaining the outstanding organization of the previous editions
* Recommended reading for The American Society for Industrial Security's (ASIS) Certified Protection Professional (CPP) exam

Free Effective Security Management, Fourth Edition
While Effective Security Management provides a reasonable, high-level look at security management and all of its aspects, I found it to be remedial and insufficient. I own it as a textbook for a graduate course, and many of my classmates agree that you could read the end summary of each chapter to get all of the information of interest.
Beyond that, I was disappointed with the tone and messaging for many parts of the book. At times, examples in the book appear rather sexist in nature, often referring to things that women tend to do wrong. The same also goes for references to people living alternative lifestyles. The book also makes references to moral issues when it would be more appropriate to talk about ethics.
Finally, the 'new' computer section is woefully dated and inadequate. Sennewald may feel that it's necessary to include some high level review of different computer components, but this knowledge doesn't really help manage computer security, and the approach puts computer and information security as mere afterthoughts to an overall security management approach.
Unfortunately, this book is currently seen as one of the best books in the field. So, if you have to read it, make sure to do so with caution and supplement the material with other sources.

I found Sennewald's book to be complete, easily understood and worthy of practical application. The book focuses on security management approaches to not only introduce security to an organization, but also to stabilze, enhance and gain support for existing security systems/department. Sennewald foregoes the lock and key discussion to present suggestions every security manager can use. The book outlines organizational systems and explains security's important role in organizations. It concentrates on development of human resources of security departments. The book is an easy read, clear and concise.
