This was summed up by a 16 year-old ‘insider’ white male who saw a ‘bad citizen’ as: someone that’s all take and no give, basically. Not participating in any way—just all for themselves…when somebody cares more about getting a car or whatever, than what’s going on with the people who are say homeless on their doorsteps, you know?

It’s helping out in as many ways as you can’. This ‘constructive social participation’ model underpinned notions of ‘good’ citizenship discussed below.
