    Not necessarily in the wealthiest areas

    That you need to point this out illustrates my point: the private security armies are there to protect the people who pay them and their interests. If the boss has interests in a less wealthy area, that might be protected too. Maybe.

    That’s not law enforcement, that’s an anarcho-capitalist nightmare!

      Pretty much saying that poor people have an interest in hiring private security so there’s security companies in poorer areas too this is not a rich thing this is a crime is rampant issue. But I guess you live here so you understand the situation on the ground.

      Is that not how publicly funded security services work, too?
