===Criticism===
 +
Local PSCs often recruit from the poor areas in and around urban environments, although former military personnel are prized. They may be the largest entry-level employer.  The quality of employee can vary significantly - usually with the cost of the service being the determinant. Depending on the individual and even company culture, these guards may either be hated or loved by the community in which they operate.  Some have been arrested for overstepping their authority and acting as paramilitary or simply violent gangs.  Despite problems, they are largely seen as the best option against street crime and gangs in difficult-to-police areas.
