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.

警务城市：不活跃，混乱和社会变革

在过去的30年中，我们目睹了西方乃至非西方城市的残酷治安政策的增加。术语“激进警务”是指禁止饮酒，乞讨，游荡，在公共场所坐坐以及其他许多次犯罪行为的禁令和排斥。学者们发现，人们越来越愿意要求针对这类行为的法律“解决方案”。在本文中，我回顾了有关这些呼吁起源的两个主要学术研究领域：第一，在破窗理论和零容忍政策的启发下，惩罚性和“法律与秩序”的心态不断提高。其次，参考新自由主义，复仇主义和城市权的概念，讨论了空间的私有化和私人行为者对公共空间日益增长的影响。以公共场所中无家可归者为例，研究了不活跃政策对弱势群体的影响。在最后一部分中，我提出了一些新的因素，这些因素可以帮助我们了解不活跃政策的兴起：这些因素包括普遍信任，日常信任以及对社区的想象。
