ABSTRACT
Visual criminology is a house with many rooms, and it seems almost impossible to give an overview of what could go under its heading. It is possible to relate the word 'eviction' to one that is more commonly used in the broader criminological community, that is, 'censure'. This contribution is about the acclaimed French visual artist Ernest Pignon-Ernest's street art. His work reflects particular forms of life and governance, and the desires, thoughts, ideas and activities that constitute them. His street art is peculiar in that it is a continuing critical reflection and comment upon territorial eviction, that is, upon that and those that have been censured out of territories. Pignon's Naples series raises a number of questions, such as: how to understand social censure in an age driven by a deep desire for, or a deep will to absolute sovereignty.
