An increasing amount of literature is suggesting that ethnic minorities perceive their relations with the police as negative and procedurally unjust. There is, however, a distinctive lack of research on the relations between ethnic minorities and private security agents. This study uses the qualitative interviews of 30 ethnic minority youths living in Finland to explore their interactions with security guards. The findings suggest that perceptions of discrimination, suspicion, being moved on, and exclusion from city space were common. The study advances the theorizations of the changes in policing and procedural justice and incorporates these into the discussions on policing the city space. It argues that net-widening of policing means that city spaces are becoming more unwelcoming for ethnic minority youths in particular, limiting their opportunities to use city spaces.

少数民族青年遭遇私人保安：城市空间不受欢迎

越来越多的文献表明，少数民族认为他们与警察的关系是消极的和程序上的不公正。然而，对少数民族与私人保安人员之间关系的研究明显缺乏。本研究对居住在芬兰的 30 名少数民族青年进行了定性访谈，以探讨他们与保安人员的互动。调查结果表明，歧视、怀疑、被转移和被排除在城市空间之外的看法很常见。该研究推进了警务和程序正义变化的理论化，并将这些理论纳入了对城市空间警务的讨论。它认为，警务网络的扩大意味着城市空间对少数民族青年尤其不受欢迎，
