This book brings together an international group of authors to explore the complex intersection between urban space and incivilities, leading to urban harm. Progressive urbanization not only impacts individuals' living conditions, well-being, and health but also contributes to social conflicts and the emergence of disorder and crime.

Rooted in interdisciplinary scholarship, the book delves into a wide range of urban issues, focusing specifically on their sensory, emotional, power, and structural dimensions. It examines the visual, audio, and olfactory components that offend or harm, exploring how urban social control agencies respond to violations of imposed sensory regimes. Emotive dimensions consider the emotional impact of incivilities on individuals, their role in shaping social control responses to deviant phenomena, and their influence on activating or suppressing resistance against harmful everyday practices.

Power and structural dimensions examine the agents who determine what constitutes anti-social and harmful behavior and the broader socio-economic and cultural context in which urbanites and social control agents operate. By connecting with sensory and affective turns in other disciplines, the book offers an original, distinctive, and nuanced approach to understanding the harms, disorder, and social control in the city.

An accessible and compelling read, this book appeals to a broad audience, including criminologists, sociologists, human geographers, psychologists, urban studies scholars, socio-legal studies, and anyone interested in the relationship between urban space and urban harm. It provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by cities in addressing these issues and promotes a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that shape urban environments.
