This book brings fresh insights into how social spaces shape the way we experience and understand security. Chapters unite voices from critical security studies, urban geography, criminology and political science to rethink the link between security and space, from neighbourhood crime to global conflict.
By viewing security through a spatial lens, the book uncovers the social, economic and political forces that shape security issues in everyday life offering vital insights for current debates on power, space and security.
"This outstanding volume expertly explores how diverse security practices and technologies shape and define space. A compelling read that reveals the intricate connections between security measures and spatial forms." Professor Jef Huysmans, Queen Mary University of London
