    Disturbances. How to understand urban disturbancies and their regulation
    In recent decades, the media and the political scene have replaced the analysis of urban disturbances by partisan, politically and market oriented forms of information. This tendency has increased since the riots in 2005: nowadays, working class areas are described as high risk areas which are socially disorganised, ethnically divided and peopled by violent youths. However, in order to understand these complex phenomena, it is necessary to go further than this alarmist vision. Based on the contribution of fundamental sociological paradigms, (risk, ethnicity, violence, conflict and social control) this book endeavours to supply intellectual tools in an approach to the disturbances and their regulation rather than the 'moralising-security' viewpoint.
