Summary: Cities as privileged spaces for social interaction and cooperation, where easy relations occur among residents, are experiencing a profound transformation. This reconfiguration affects mainly to traditionally suspected persons and groups, whose social exclusion is strengthened. The study targets a number of techniques, which displace these persons and groups from city public spaces, such us: gated communities and gentrification, employment of CCTV techniques in public places and in private places with public access, and off-limits, exclusion and no-trespass orders. The paper intends to confront such practices in two geographical areas with significant differences in the enforcement of social control, the United States of America and the European Nordic countries.
