Abstract

The Netherlands have recently created a number of new agents of social control. These include the stadswachten (city wardens) and the politiesurveillanten (police patrollers). Both primarily patrol in city centres, with the police patrollers being a more junior rank in the regular police, but the city wardens a separate uniformed presence. Both have, primarily, an order maintenance and preventive/regulatory function. Summarising research on their structure, organization and effectiveness across a number of cities (including questionnaires to the general public and interviews with the social control agents and those who have had contact with them), it is suggested that though both seem to have a positive effect on fear of crime in these areas (and on some instances of nuisance/petty crime), city wardens find it is easier to interact with both police and public to do their job.

谁在控制

荷兰最近创造了一些新的社会控制手段。这其中包括stadswachten(城市管理员)和politiverillten(警察巡逻员)。两者主要在城市中心巡逻，警察巡逻员在普通警察中级别较低，但城市管理员穿制服。两者主要具有维持秩序和预防/管制功能。总结了在许多城市中对他们的结构、组织和有效性的研究(包括对公众的问卷调查和对社会控制代理人以及与他们有过接触的人的访谈)，这表明，尽管两者似乎对这些地区的犯罪恐惧有积极的影响(以及在一些妨害/轻微犯罪的情况下)，城市管理员发现与警察和公众进行互动更容易完成他们的工作。
