The fear in the city poses difficult dilemmas for citizenship: the practices that generates directly undermine or deny motivates forms of "citizen participation" is at least ambivalent, transforms the same to others who, according to the intensity, they fears are kept at a distance, are avoided, were ejected. Ultimately, fear in the city set a specific type of citizenship, at times paradoxical, as would their denial.
