Learning outcomes
At the end of this seminar, students will become familiar with urban security as a social fact and with security policies and strategies (including policing) from a sociological and criminological perspective. They will be able to critically discuss, from a legal and criminological point of view, these strategies and policies, and they will be able to contextualize them in the broader framework of social control.
Course contents
The seminar will analyze in depth some of the issues included in the final part of the course of Criminology, and particularly:
- the theoretical and criminological framework of urban security policies;
- the evolution of these policies and strategies in recent times;
- the so called "decreti sicurezza", and the measure of preventive coercion, such as administrative orders and banishment orders (the so-called "Daspo urbano");
- urban security and urban marginality;
- urban security and the control of migration;
- urban security and the control of protest and dissent;
- the changes in urban control and in policing.
