Document Summary
Wacquant constructing disorderly" (in terms of appearance, visible on the streets) and desirables as dangerous. We always assume that criminals are dangerous, so already have a split between us and criminals and now begin to group incivilities in the same way. If you make students wear uniforms, cannot tell who is in gang (baggy clothing, gang colors) and perceive school as safer. Students don"t need this; they know who"s in a gang. Incivilities tend to be about visibility & we"ve learned to associate this with fear. Crime control approach: cracking down on crime, toughening up on crime, linked to idea of deterrence, if you have a strong visible police force, you can deter crime. Incident oriented: responds to specific incidents, something happens, call the cops, they show up. Response oriented: waiting for incident to happen, waiting to be called, not being proactive, little resourves directed to prevention.
