他的文章在许多方面与社会学家C.赖特米尔斯关于把私人问题变成公共问题的著名禁令。然而，这是一个比平常更棘手的过程，因为这些私人麻烦的中心受害者不是儿童、妇女、女同性恋者、男同性恋者、老年人或残疾人。这里的受害者是斯坦·科恩所描述的“不纯的受害者”，因为他们是被怀疑“参与”“恐怖主义”活动的个人。这些不纯洁的受害者正在经历的私人麻烦是我们大多数人享有的许多权利的丧失（例如，自由权和公平审判权）。这里要研究的公共问题是艾蒂安·巴利巴尔所指的当代社会中国家对“被彻底排斥”的个人的极端暴力的现实。本章考察了英国政府在反恐战争中实现其压倒一切的雄心的漫长而曲折的道路：将恐怖嫌疑人驱逐到（尽管有外交保证）酷刑不可避免的政权。
In many ways his article confronts the Sociologist C. Wright Mills’s famous injunction on turning private troubles into public issues. However, this is a trickier process than usual as the victims at the centre of these private troubles are not children, women, lesbian, gays, the elderly, or the disabled. The victims here are what Stan Cohen has described as ‘impure victims’, in that they are individuals who are suspected of being ‘involved’ in ‘terrorist’ activities. The private troubles these impure victims are experiencing are the loss of many of the rights most of us enjoy (for example, the right to liberty and the right to a fair trial). The public issue that will be examined here is what Étienne Balibar refers to as the reality of the extreme violence of the State in contemporary societies against ‘radically excluded’ individuals. This chapter is an examination of the long and winding road to the Government achieving its over-riding ambition in the war on terror in the UK: the deportation of terror suspects to regimes where (despite diplomatic assurances) torture is inevitable.
