What is the articulation of removal, reclamation and consequently the implementation of devices and the establishing of prevention practices ? Why are the majority of victims and also the control agency professionals seemingly resigned to these ignored insecurities ? Following more than 20 years of research in the area, the authors examine these questions and how the securitisation of society has been exacerbated. They argue that the primary cause of the increase in ignored insecurities is the consequence of the neoliberal turn in security governance. This book proposes an innovative approach to security governance, not only through a serious analysis of the balance of the costs and benefits, but also highlighting what is termed "ignored insecurities". The authors propose a review of the problems, showing that the governance of security is a crucial element of the contemporary political organisation of society. This impressive collection shows the limits of what governments refer to as "security". Much is left out of this governmental notion. And what it leaves out seems to have expanded as the significance of the term has grown. ER -
