Citizens policing citizens
During the last decade, the phenomenon of citizen watches has become a common and meaningful element in citizen participation that aims to improve local public safety. This paper discusses citizen watches as a manifestation of the way citizens and state agencies are redefining and transforming their relationships. It examines the question of the extent to which citizen watches can be seen as examples of good citizenship. The Dutch government is c…
Voice, exit and efficacy
Residents of deprived urban neighbourhoods with a changing population often experience an increase in insecurity. If they judge the change as decline, they are likely to become less satisfied with their residential situation and exhibit coping tactics. This paper combines Hirschman’s Exit, Voice and Loyalty theory with insights on personal and collective efficacy drawn mainly from the work of Bandura and Sampson in order to describe and interpret…
Dealing with living in poor neighbourhoods
In this prologue to the special issue, the guest editors place the contributions in the context of current debates on living in concentrated poverty neighbourhoods. These debates concern two broad categories of residents: poor households that are assisted to move from concentrations of poverty to lower-poverty areas (movers); and households (not exclusively the poor) that cannot move out of poor neighbourhoods or are not willing to do so, for var…
Mental Geographies of Home and Place
Recent years have witnessed a resurgent interest in the study of home and place across the social sciences. By breaking away from positivistic grand theories, researchers have developed a heightened sense of the manifold ways people attach themselves to place, inscribe it with meaning and construct it through discursive acts of imagination. This themed issue sets out to explore a “middle ground” perspective on home and place, in which a construct…

Nowadays, this new middle class is still considered a great potential contributor to vital cities, as consumers, as a workforce and as participants in civil society. Having witnessed increasing independence from central government over recent years, cities increasingly depend on their presence. However, until…
Urban Consumption and Feelings of Attachment of Rotterdam's New Middle Class
Cities have increasingly developed into spaces for consumption. This paper explores the relationship between patterns of use of urban leisure amenities and feelings of attachment to the city. A survey among highly educated professionals and managers (the new middle class, working in the Dutch city of Rotterdam) was carried out in order to examine both their participation in the domain of urban leisure and urban residence, and their attachments to…
