Abstract

This article argues that the persistence of coercive tactics is not just limited to the excluded, the anti-citizens. It explores the routine use of coercion in contemporary practices for the government of conduct. Rather than simply seen as repressive or negative, such strategies are best regarded as productive, seeking to shape individual agency in particular ways. I point to the range of punitive measures operated by private security and highlight the multiple objectifications of the governed that these specify.
