| Annotation | This article seeks to consider the links between emerging concepts of citizenship in the 21st century and the legitimisation of this agenda. It provides an overview of UK policy as it relates to adult protection, and considers concepts of citizenship and the links between the two areas. Having provided an overview of adult protection in the UK, the authors take the reader through concepts of vulnerability and citizenship, and consider the implications of these concepts on the citizenship of those most likely to be subject to adult protection procedures in the UK. This article shows how models of citizenship have altered over time to reflect societal norms and customs, and in particular how this paradigm shift has legitimised intervention in the lives of adults. It further highlights the likely impact of adult protection procedures on the citizenship rights of those most likely to experience them. The paper brings together conceptual discourses on citizenship and adult protection. (RH). |
