Governing the dangerous classes : welcome to E-Nose, CCTV and the Mosquito
No full textIn urban locations in Australia and elsewhere, public space may be said to be under attack from developers and also from attempts by civic authorities to oversee and control it (Davis 1995, Mitchell 2003, Watson 2006, Iveson 2006). The use of public space use by young people in particular, raises issues in Australia and elsewhere in the world. In a context of monitoring and control procedures, young people’s use of public space is often viewed as a threat to the prevailing social order (Loader 1996, White 1998, Crane and Dee 2001). This paper discusses recent technological developments in the surveillance, governance and control of public space used by young people, children and people of all ages

Young people, public space and citizenship
No full textThe use of public space by young people raises issues in Australia and elsewhere in the world. Contests occur between the disparate players seeking a stake in the use and definition of public space. State and local government, young people, the security industry, shop owners, community groups and property developers are some of the major players. In a context of monitoring and control procedures, young people's use of public space is often viewed as a threat to social order (Loader 1996, Crane and Dee 2001, White 1998).\ud

This study considers critical intersections between young people and the control of public space. It employs an analysis of relevant youth, citizenship and public space theories. Particular attention focuses on the concepts of political, civil and social citizenship formulated by the British sociologist T.H. Marshall, whose key text Citizenship and Social Class (1950), is still relevant (see Yeatman 1994, France 1997, Mann 1995, Manning and Ryan 2004). \ud

Grounded Theory methodology as discussed by Glaser and Strauss (1967) is utilised in the surveying of high school students in Brisbane and Logan to discover their perceptions of a range of public space and citizenship issues. The overall aim of this study is to consider if a connection exists between young people, public space and citizenship and if the use of public space by young people may be understood from a broad rights perspective and the concept of social citizenship, as discussed by Marshall (1950). \ud

The self completion survey employed in this study asked 1122 high school students a number of questions about their local community, safety at school, the meaning to them of the word citizenship and their thoughts about CCTV. \ud
\ud
The key findings were: \ud
\ud
\ud
\ud
* Some communities are less concerned about young people, than others;\ud
\ud
\ud
\ud
* Most schools are safe, but a number are not. Teachers contribute to student's feelings of safety at school;\ud
\ud
\ud
\ud
* The word citizenship carries important meanings for most young people around belonging, community and taking part in community life; \ud
\ud
\ud
\ud
* CCTV surveillance does not necessarily make young people feel safe in using public space;\ud
\ud
\ud
\ud
* Most young people feel negatively stereotyped by their community;\ud
\ud
\ud
\ud
* Most local areas do not have enough youth facilities\ud
