| Summary: | Since 1986 (if not 1968), youths’ demonstrations in France are often places of violent confrontations with police forces. Meanwhile, violence more and more occurs within the ranks of protestors, with scenes of stealing and beating of youths by other youths, under the impavide eyes of police forces which seem to avoid to use force at any cost. Aim of our contribution is to study the specific dynamic of disorder and of restoration of order that took place between two students and juveniles’ demonstrations respectively the 23d and the 28th of March 2006 in Paris, at the occasion of massive protests against a planned reform of the young workers’ labour contracts. Police refrained from using force at the 23d of March. But less than a week later, police seemed to suddenly have learned all necessary skills in order to perfectly manage the course of a demonstration. Our article aims to seize the political economy of the use of force by the police, which consists in an estimation of political costs and benefits of the use of public force, and of the political structure of society which encourages or refrains such police use of force. |
