Abstract

In the US television drama series The Wire (HBO, 2002), a Baltimore detec- tive asks his colleagues what they make of a young woman photographed with some of the gang members that they are pursuing. Viewers know that Shardene is a dancer at the gang leader’s strip club. ‘I like her face,’ says one detective. The other is more specific of the qualities that he sees in her: ‘Soul, conscience, whatever you want to call it.’ He concludes: ‘She’s a citizen.’ The detectives decide to recruit her as an informant.
