Document Summary

The dangerous poor: refers to the idea (demonstrated by marcus aurelius) that understands poverty to be the mother of crime . It is based upon an old prejudice that believes the poor to be a dangerous class that will rob, steal and commit violent crimes once given the opportunity. However this idea is significant as society believed it posed a threat to its wellbeing the government and authority questioned how to contain and neutralize the danger presented. They did this by denying their right to vote, regulate public space, and criminalizing drugs such as crack and cocaine. (which the police would catch them using the drugs) Urban space & citizenship: are areas occupied by towns and cities. This idea ties into the concept of public space and how to regulate it. With understanding urban space, it is closely related to citizenship. Understanding urban space and its regulations classifies citizenship within that district.
