Contents 1. Introduction 2. Contexts of Grievances 3. Visible Minorities: Citizenship and Discrimination 4. Policing the Inner Cities 5. Conclusion
Note This book analyzes and compares the police's inner city presence in France, the US, and Britain. Its authors' research points to the idea that the creation of a more inclusive environment is a sound approach for cities looking to better maintain peace, reduce discrimination, and manage the dynamic between police and citizens in inner cities. Most Western inner-cities experience difficult encounters between the police and marginalized youths. There is dissatisfaction and resentment on both sides. While minorities complain of lack of mobility, harassment, and discriminations by the police, law enforcers resent doing a 'dirty' job-one which is largely ignored by their hierarchy and by mainstream denizens. This book analyses and compares the police's inner city presence in France, the US, and Britain.
