Le Piege de la violence et les jeunes.Le Piege de la violence et les jeunes.

Violence has many faces, all those that are given to it according to the concerns of the hour and the young people are still part of these concerns. The trap of violence in which the young person can fall does not depend only on his action, but depends on the way in which this action is understood in terms of violence. This trap does not depend solely on what the young person is either; it often relates to the way in which we take hold of our person in order to define their delinquent profile. In this process, which often leads to criminal proceedings, the trap closes on the young person and can destroy him completely. The book examines how this particular violence capable of destroying the young infiltrates socially. This violence does not have its source in some extraordinary intervention of the state authority, but in a more or less banal daily life where rationalizations, fears, interests, ideologies renew the structures in place. Youth violence takes the form of the institution that fights it.
