在信号犯罪观点的启发下，放心警务在英国的兴起，取代了对控制犯罪的狭隘关注，而是更广泛地强调通信安全。这篇文章对这一政策转变中所隐含的关于治安保障功能的主导假设提出了同情的批评。在这些理论上知情的政策辩论中，重要的是这样一种想法，即警察及其合作伙伴可以通过象征性通信影响个人对城市空间中存在的秩序和安全的感知程度。这篇论文利用研究结果来说明不同受众接受和解释犯罪和正式控制的可视符号的不同方式。它挑战了关于犯罪活动对安全观念的影响的假设，并有助于洞察正式控制的意外影响，这些影响对我们对当地社会秩序的理解具有影响。
The rise of reassurance policing in the UK, informed by ideas drawn from a Signal Crimes Perspective, replaced a narrow focus on controlling crime with a broader emphasis on communicating security. This paper provides a sympathetic critique of dominant assumptions implied in this policy shift concerning the reassurance function of policing. Important in these theoretically informed policy debates is the idea that the police and their partners, through symbolic communications, can influence the extent to which individuals perceive that order and security exist within urban spaces. The paper draws on research findings to illustrate the contrasting ways visible signifiers of crime and formal controls are received and interpreted by diverse audiences. It challenges assumptions about the impact of criminal activities upon perceptions of safety and contributes insights into the unintended effects of formal controls that have implications for our understanding of local social order.
