Fascinating . . . Sheds light on a variety of current debates surrounding policing, surveillance, gun ownership, and more. Through fast-paced and story-like prose, Jeursen furthers the essential project of understanding policing as something that extends beyond the uniformed police. -- William Garriott, Drake University Jeursen has skillfully captured how everyday people's negotiations with and for security are a prevailing and socially differentiated aspect of life in the neoliberal city. The author provides a granular view of how policing goes beyond the institution and becomes a part of the way people understand their rights and roles as private residents. The Vigilant Citizen stands to make an important contribution to anthropological understandings of citizenship, policing, security, and the contemporary city. -- Kristin V. Monroe, University of Kentucky
