Insecurity, Risk Suppression and Segregation:

Some Reflections on Policing in the Transnational Age

JAMES SHEPTYCKI

University of Edinburgh, UK

This article uses the notion of `risk suppression' as a heuristic device in order to illuminate some important contemporary transformations in the delivery of security and social control, which is viewed as loosely coupled to the development of transnationalization. It views current trends in the segregation of the risky from the at risk, experienced in widely differing regions, as symptomatic of global shifts in governance. It is criminology's contribution to the sociology of the global system, arguing that the discourse of insecurity should be viewed as a constituent discursive element in the establishment of a transnational middle class.

Key Words: closed circuit television (CCTV) • defensible space • fear of crime • insecurity • risk • segregation • transnational
