“…These measures often include bans on sitting and/or lying down in public space (Beckett & Herbert, 2009; Blomley, 2010; Mitchell, 1997) as activities associated with vagrancy (Ellickson, 1996; Feldman, 2004; Mitchell, 1995, 1997). Yet other regulatory policies of public space in the UK ban skateboarding, street vending (Coleman, 2004), walking with dogs (Sylvestre, 2010) and many other activities deemed uncivil (Gayet‐Viaud, 2017; Peršak, 2016a). As Galdon‐Clavell (2016) shows, the regulatory ordinances are framed by references to the rights of the majority, which are to be protected and enforced by law.…”

Over the past 30 years, we have been witnessing a rise in incivility policing across western but also non-western cities. The term "incivility policing" refers to bans and exclusion aimed at drinking alcohol, begging, loitering, sitting in public, and many other kinds of subcriminal conduct. Scholars have observed an increasing readiness to demand legal "solutions" aimed against these kinds of conduct. In this paper, I review two major strands of scholarship dealing with the origins of these calls: First, a rising punitiveness and a "law and order" mentality, inspired by the Broken windows theory and Zero tolerance policies. Second, privatization of space and the rising influence of private actors over public spaces are discussed with references to the concepts of neoliberalism, revanchism, and the right to the city. The effect of incivility policing on vulnerable groups is examined using the example of homeless people in public space. In the final part, I suggest new factors which could help us understand the rise in incivility policing: These include general trust, everyday trust, and the imaginaries of community.

“…Even if one accepts that the proliferation of preventive endeavors signifies a shift in the way states govern, classificatory problems remain. Should criminological attention be confined to those preventive endeavors aimed at activities properly thought of as criminal or should research and critical scrutiny extend also to those measures aimed at subcriminal conduct such as antisocial behavior or minor incivilities (Crawford 2009, Gayet-Viaud 2017, von Hirsch & Simester 2006? Or does this risk elevating merely antisocial behavior and minor incivilities into legitimate objects of crime control?…”

The Rise and Restraint of the Preventive State

Security has always been a core function of the modern state. Yet the rise of the Preventive State captures an intensification of that role as threats to security and demands for public protection increase, prompting states to prioritize new practices of preventive criminalization, policing, and punishment. The rise of the Preventive State may promise greater security, but the costs of ever more coercive preventive laws and measures are burdensome and pose a threat to civil liberties. This review considers the drivers, multiple manifestations, and direct and collateral consequences of preventive endeavors that assess and manage risk, target hazards, and restrain or detain those deemed dangerous. It also explores their ramifications for criminology and criminal justice. It concludes by considering the potential of criminology to join cross-disciplinary efforts to articulate a new jurisprudence of security and to elaborate principles of preventive justice with which to restrain the excesses of the Preventive State. 429

“…Based on data that can be obtained from various sources in this study, several trigger factors for the occurrence of clashes in community organizations, especially in the jurisdiction of the city of Denpasar, were found. Clashes between inside community organizations are often made a serious problem, so that this has a negative impact on the condition of urban communities [7]. The city of Denpasar with all its urban conditions continues to carry a huge social burden and changes over time.…”

“…This idea arose as a result of concern for the people who came from the lowest group but had to be the subject of extortion. Principally, an action or event is always accompanied by reasons and objectives, as well as crimes committed by a group of members of a community organization [7][8] [9]. It's just that the reasons and objectives contained in each activity of different people or groups are certainly never the same in nature.…”

Clashes in community organizations have become a source of legal problems. In developed countries, including Indonesia, many small-scale and large-scale industries suddenly became difficult to experience liquidity due to low tourist visits caused by clashes in community organizations (in this study is in the city of Denpasar, Bali). This study examined the factors that trigger the occurrence of clashes in community organizations causing crime and analyzed the arising impacts on tourism activities in the city of Denpasar. We designed this study with the empirical legal research design. We found that the main factors that cause clashes in community organizations are egosectoral, misunderstanding, competition for parking lot, and the desire to win the competition. In the tourism world, clashes in community organizations have caused the investment atmosphere not to be propitious. Hence, the legal provisions governing the community organizations require touching from the government to be strengthened immediately.
