This book was released on 2003 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novembre 2001 : policiers et gendarmes sortent pour la première fois de leur devoir de réserve et défilent dans la rue pour attirer l'attention des Français et des politiques sur l'incompréhension dont ils se sentent l'objet. La question de l'autorité de l'Etat et de ses moyens face à une délinquance en constante augmentation est clairement posée. Printemps 2002 : les électeurs font savoir sans ambage qu'ils veulent plus de sécurité sans renoncer pour autant aux exigences démocratiques. Message légitime, certes, mais ambigu quant aux réformes à mettre en œuvre et qui concernent la police au premier chef. Au-delà des moyens, les interrogations sont multiples : l'Etat peut-il et doit-il assurer seul la sécurité des citoyens ? Comment tenir à la fois la prévention et la répression ? La police de proximité remplit-elle sa mission ? L'organisation actuelle est-elle adaptée à la lutte contre le terrorisme et les réseaux maffieux ? Plaidoyer pour une institution souvent mal comprise, ce livre allie une hauteur de vue et une connaissance du terrain qui se rencontrent rarement sur un sujet aussi sensible.

Download or read book The Making of the Banlieue written by Luuk Slooter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies and disaggregates the "crisis of the suburbs" in Paris through the stories of inhabitants in 4000sud: a French suburban neighborhood. These stories have become pressing in the aftermath of the recent wave of terrorist attacks in France. The French banlieues are some of the most prominent and infamous examples of urban neighborhoods affected by vandalism, rioting, criminality and chronic poverty. Based on extensive ethnographic research, the book explores the making of the French suburban crisis as constituted both externally (by state actors) and internally, by young people at the street corner. It reveals how the French state’s understanding of banlieue violence, and subsequent policy measures, contribute to the creation and hardening of boundaries between "us" and "them". The book takes the reader on a journey from the city center of Paris to the heart of neighborhood 4000sud. It unveils how young suburban residents try to cope simultaneously with the negative images imposed on them from the outside, and the disciplinary expectations of their peers on the street. In search for identity and dignity they navigate life through diverging strategies: they escape the neighborhood, contest stereotypical images through (violent) protest, or confirm and act out the image of "gangster from the ghetto". Drawing on Urban Sociology, Human Geography, and Cultural Anthropology, this book offers new analytical vocabularies to understand the connections between place-making processes, social identity dynamics and violent performances. The book is written for a broad audience of students, scholars and policy makers interested in contemporary (sub)urban violence in Europe.
Download or read book Maintien de l ordre et polices en France et en Europe au XIXe si cle written by Philippe Vigier and published by creaphis editions. This book was released on 1987 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelles ont été, au XIXe siècle, les théories et les pratiques du maintien de l'ordre ? Comment les différents systèmes politiques et sociaux ont-ils assuré leur propre sécurité ? Parmi les institutions chargées de la répression et des contrôles, quel rôle et quelle efficacité reconnaître alors à la police, dont les avatars au cours du siècle semblent prouver l'échec du pouvoir politique à en faire accepter réellement l'existence ? Dans cet ouvrage, l'idéologie et les instruments de l'ordre y sont étudiés au travers des crises révolutionnaires de 1848 et 1870-1871. L'histoire de la police politique, ses hommes et ses méthodes, est l'objet de plusieurs articles consacrés à la France et l'Angleterre. D'autres traitent des institutions et des règlements imaginés pour le contrôle des populations remuantes ou inquiétantes, recherche tâtonnante d'une société policée... Le recueil se termine par l'analyse de quelques cas de répression où le héros n'est plus le gréviste ou le révolté, mais l'indicateur et le bureaucrate : l'histoire des mouvements sociaux peut beaucoup gagner à se placer ainsi de l'autre côté de la barricade.
Download or read book Policing in France written by Jacques de Maillard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-02 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eminent contributors to a new collection, Policing in France, provide an updated and realistic picture of how the French police system really works in the 21st century. In most international comparisons, France typifies the "Napoleonic" model for policing, one featuring administrative and political centralization, a strong hierarchical structure, distance from local communities, and a high priority on political policing. France has undergone a process of pluralization in the last 30 years. French administrative and political decentralization has reemphasized the role of local authorities in public security policies; the private security industry has grown significantly; and new kinds of governing models (based on arrangements such as contracts for service provision) have emerged. In addition, during this period, police organizations have been driven toward central government control through the imposition of performance indicators, and a top-down decision was made to integrate the national gendarmerie into the Ministry of Interior. The book addresses how police legitimacy differs across socioeconomic, generational, territorial, and ethnic lines. An analysis of the policing of banlieues (deprived neighborhoods) illustrates the convergence of contradictory police goals, police violence, the concentration of poverty, and entrenched opposition to the states’ representatives, and questions policing strategies such as the use of identity checks. The collection also frames the scope of community policing initiatives required to deal with the public’s security needs and delves into the security challenges presented by terrorist threats and the nuances of the relationship between policing and intelligence agencies. Identifying and explaining the diverse challenges facing French police organizations and how they have been responding to them, this book draws upon a flourishing French-language literature in history, sociology, political science, and law to produce this new English-language synthesis on policing in France. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners working in and around French policing, as well as students of international law enforcement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage se propose de dépasser les postures antagonistes sur les questions policières en faisant la synthèse des savoirs produits par les sciences sociales des dernières années. Car la police – qu'elle soit nationale ou locale, militaire et civile, privée et publique – est aussi un domaine de recherche où se croisent nouvelles données empiriques et renouvellements théoriques (analyse du lien entre police et politique, de la confiance dans la police par le public, etc.). Observer les polices permet, en outre, de comprendre les transformations contemporaines de l’État, marquées par la diffusion des normes du nouveau management public et la dénationalisation de l’autorité, et, plus largement, les formes de régulation des sociétés traversées par des conflictualités profondes. Jacques de Maillard est professeur de science politique à l'Université Versailles St-Quentin-en-Yvelines et directeur du Centre de recherches sociologiques sur le droit et les institutions pénales (Cesdip). Wesley G. Skogan est professeur de science politique à la Northwestern University de Chicago et chercheur à l'Institute for Policy Research.

Download or read book In Thrall to Political Change written by Malcolm Anderson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first history of the French police and gendarmerie, for the period since the establishment of a democratic Republican regime in 1870 down to the present day. Based on archival material and on the vast amount of recent research by French scholars on the subject, it covers dramatic and often harrowing developments - anarchist and communist subversion, violent demonstrations and strikes, fascist threats, war and occupation, colonial conflicts and regime change - which have made policing in France troubled and controversial. As well as a chronological history, the book contains a thematic treatment of the police and the Republican regime (including the complex police-justice and police-military relations, the politics of police officials analysing the charge of racism, politico-police scandals, and inequalities of policing), of major controversies (over political policing, municipal or central control of the police, and modernisation), and of areas which pose problems for which there is no clear solution (use of force and police violence, police accountability, private security, and internationalization). In conclusion, the relations between the police and the public, and the place of the police in the political order are assessed. It is inter-disciplinary in approach using the academic literature in sociology, history, political science, criminal justice as well as the writings of police practitioners. The subject is placed in the context of international debates on policing, and the language used is free of jargon and the use, without explanation, of French terms. The bibliography and sources are a basic guide for further study of the subject.
Download or read book The Policing of Politics in the Twentieth Century written by Mark Mazower and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1997 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the police has, from its beginnings, been ambiguous, even janus-faced. This volume focuses on one of its controversial aspects by showing how the police have been utilized in the past by regimes in Europe, the USA and the British Empire to check political dissent and social unrest. Ideologies such as anti-Communism emerge as significant influences in both democracies and dictatorships. And by shedding new light on policing continuities in twentieth-century Germany and Italy, as well as Interpol, this volume questions the compatibility of democratic government and political policing.
Download or read book Unnaturally French written by Peter Sahlins and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his rich and learned new book about the naturalization of foreigners, Peter Sahlins offers an unusual and unexpected contribution to the histories of immigration, nationality, and citizenship in France and Europe. Through a study of foreign citizens, Sahlins discovers and documents a premodern world of legal citizenship, its juridical and administrative fictions, and its social practices. Telling the story of naturalization from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth centuries, Unnaturally French offers an original interpretation of the continuities and ruptures of absolutist and modern citizenship, in the process challenging the historiographical centrality of the French Revolution.Unnaturally French is a brilliant synthesis of social, legal, and political history. At its core are the tens of thousands of foreign citizens whose exhaustively researched social identities and geographic origins are presented here for the first time. Sahlins makes a signal contribution to the legal history of nationality in his comprehensive account of the theory, procedure, and practice of naturalization. In his political history of the making and unmaking of the French absolute monarchy, Sahlins considers the shifting policies toward immigrants, foreign citizens, and state membership.Sahlins argues that the absolute citizen, exemplified in Louis XIV's attempt to tax all foreigners in 1697, gave way to new practices in the middle of the eighteenth century. This "citizenship revolution," long before 1789, produced changes in private and in political culture that led to the abolition of the distinction between foreigners and citizens. Sahlins shows how the Enlightenment and the political failure of the monarchy in France laid the foundations for the development of an exclusively political citizen, in opposition to the absolute citizen who had been above all a legal subject. The author completes his original book with a study of naturalization under Napoleon and the Bourbon Restoration. Tracing the twisted history of the foreign citizen from the Old Regime to the New, Sahlins sheds light on the continuities and ruptures of the revolutionary process, and also its consequences.
