the mid-80's of last century, said Nils Christie the development of the new penal policy through the notion of "Suitable Enemies", according to the scholar, the "Suitable Enemies" would be those social actors that become the subject of periodic campaigns of moral panic and to which are catalyzed all those feelings of insecurity, political instability and dissatisfaction felt by citizens. According to this view, every phase of political transition would be characterized precisely by the construction of a "common enemy" and the purpose of its creation would be to bring the public from part of its creator with a view to enhancing consensus. The "Suitable Enemies" would have the primary function of moving the attention of society to another, the "common enemy" - in fact - to beat for the good of all. In order to be perceived as dangerous, the "common enemy" must be felt as a threat to society immininente affected by its presence. Also - always to move the social consensus in the direction of who advertises incessantly - the "common enemy" must be perceived as difficult to win if not with great effort and with the help of all.
In our society you can do several examples of "suitable ENEMIES "in recent times such as" common enemy "was the class of immigrants, which was the primary target and the political battle par excellence of the Northern League. But still, do not pay attention to the campaign as a moral panic which in recent years has been the Judiciary, probilmente that is singled out as "common enemy" in order to divert attention from the mass of facts certainly more serious and embarrassing?
often happens, in short, not only at national level.
Every politician, who in his own way has been the head of a government (even local), seeks to create a "common enemy" to which all catalyze social unrest, while strengthening its position now apparent decline. It is not easy to notice these maneuvers. Often the policy relies on mass-media and print media that broadcast his thoughts, often makes claims impossible to verify, but at the same time, hard to refute ... because of the lack of tangible evidence that an assessment can objective ...
That 's what has happened in recent months - and continues to happen today - Latimer. The theme is always the same, the technical staff of the Mayor De Giorgi. On July 12, 2010, there appeared a new press group of UDC-PD-VERDI in which the Mayor is even called "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (and this speaks volumes about the level of the protesters) ...
be clear, I will not defend the staff, who make up is perfectly capable of defending itself. The staff, I have always maintained, it will be open to criticism or praise only when there will be results subject to objective verification. At the moment this can not happen because of the lack of objective data, so I think these criticisms are endless demagoguery, but especially misleading. And here is the news ...
In fact, if we consider the theory of Nils Christie, one might think that "someone" is trying to transform the staff of the Mayor in the "common enemy" of City of Latimer. Why? Well first of all to strengthen the consensus that the same "someone" saw slowly decline (as in the previous election result has shown), but at the same time to divert attention from situations latianesi certainly more serious and certainly more embarrassing (for those who have lost the elections). I refer to the 2010 budget approved by the previous city administration in the month of March 2010, commented in an exhaustive manner by the Mayor in his report at the City Council of 1.7.2010 (this Council immediately abandoned by the groups PD-UDC ... who knows why).
Without the staff in the guise of "common enemy", in fact, the latianesi could direct its attention to the fact that many funding provided in the above budget estimate - including, for example, that for the completion of the stadium, or for the maintenance of roads, or for public lighting - are in fact impossible, or because they were supposed to be financed with loan (Grant this strongly opposed to the stability pact) or even because would have to be subsidized with funds never actually allocated.
So - good for giving the theory of Nils Christie (and for me it is) - the Technical Staff, shown as an "enemy common to hate and fight, would act as a catalyst of emotions and citizenship and would be useful to other passing situations in the background.
short, the technical staff that is more opposition to the majority ...
Spark citizens Latimer: you risk seriously running out of sports hall and the streets similar to the surface of the moon, but do not think ... there is a municipal authority recently established that is singled out as the real enemy ... and who knows, maybe one day some of the protesters will deign to explain why ...
