| Abstract |
How do state security policies and practices affect citizenship rights, especially the rights of the urbanpoor? And how do marginalised citizens experience and negotiate their citizenship with state securityactors as well as non-state armed actors, including criminal leaders? Focusing on Jamaica, YoniqueCampbell seeks to tackle these questions, drawing on interviews with policy elites in governmentand civil society and on in-depth fieldwork in three communities (one middle-class neighbourhoodin Kingston and two low-income ‘garrison’ areas with histories of politically connected criminal lead-ership, one in Kingston and one in the smaller town of May Pen).
