Description
Summary:Noting the deterioration of the image of the police against residents of neighborhoods in urban areas, this article examines the perception that young can have the police institution. This is an observation restore youth work reports / Police going to meet young people identified as belonging to bands that circulate in the neighborhood Châtelet-les-Halles. If the vast majority of young people go to Les Halles to eat and be entertained, however, we noted the existence of this field of inquiry, three groups of young people experiencing difficulties with the police. Empirical observation of these three groups showed us that there were tensions between the police operating in the sector and a number of young people labeled as "deviant". But the level of intensity of violence between police and three groups differs depending on whether one belongs to a strip coming from the suburbs, which is West Indian immigrant surviving through small trades or, finally, we is a young living in extreme social vulnerability.
