(en) France, UCL AL #315 - Edito, The violence of the margins (ca, de, it, fr, pt)[machine translation]
Date
Thu, 8 Apr 2021 10:00:07 +0300
In recent weeks, several adolescents have died, and others injured, in clashes
between rival gangs. Violence not new but still dramatic. First of all in a human
capacity, but also by highlighting the social logics at work in these collective
confrontations. Because the boys - and sometimes the girls - who make the gangs
are registered in majority in forms of educational, family and economic
marginalization. ---- Belonging to a gang then allows accomplishments prohibited
by marginalization: building bonds of loyalty and seeking reputation through
transgressions that are ultimately very conformist. Because the fight and
violence obey first of all a logic of competition, cardinal value of capitalism,
as well as a youthful virilism.
But the police and security response reflects the cynicism of politicians. They
don't care to solve the problem. Their only ambition is to martially mobilize
their electorate, little concerned by these clashes. Those who suffer -
adolescents, parents, educators, teachers - are delivered to the powerlessness
produced in large part by the destruction of public services (education, social
services, associations or specialized prevention) which erases adults from the
daily lives of these young people. Antisocial policies only fuel the problems of
violence, and the only possible avenues remain the mobilization and initiative of
those who live and work in these neighborhoods.
