Abstract

Jeursen attends to how gun shops and gun-buyback programs in Miami differentiate "good" gun owners from (racialized) others, perceived instead as either indecent or dangerous. This nuanced chapter draws on a wide range of literature on the ethics and imaginations of visualizing technologies, like police bodycams or recorded footage of police brutality, while showing how policing is thoroughly dramaturgical, concerned with its own appearance. I The Vigilant Citizen: Everyday Policing and Insecurity in Miami i is an engaging and at times staggering ethnographic account of the way ideas about "good (American) citizenship" are bound up with insecurity and vigilance.
