Les axes prioritaires face à l'émergence de phénomènes criminels en banlieue québécoise : l'exemple d'un quartier de laval
The media strengthen the negative image of the emergence of criminal zones in certain suburbs, advancing the impotence of the police interventions and the states strategy. The citizens living to the every day life in these districts express a felling of insecurity. The impression of a vicious circle between real insecurity and feeling of insecurity persists then through such speeches and continues through times and places, whether it is in France, in the United States or even in Canada. A lot of studies have already asked the question to know if these speeches base themselves on a real situation of insecurity or on a felling of insecurity of the citizens but few took the axis to deepen the reflection and the study on these new emergent phenomena of urban disorders and incivilities in the suburbs of Quebec. This research aims at deepening this reflection by taking an example of a district of Laval in Quebec. It is a question of establishing if there is real problem of incivilities and urban disorders or if it is more about a feeling of insecurity, the purpose so being to be able to establish a guide of resolutions of problems in suburbs and to bring a reflection on the potential interventions in sensitive zones. Basing itself on methodological one mixed, connecting a comparison of the statistics of criminality by districts to the perception of key actors of Laval, this research brings a new analyse on these resolutions of problems. The results bring an interesting analysis on this interaction by underlining the importance of the district and the sociodemographic characteristics, of the informal social control, the social fabric but also the necessity of the frame of the institutional authority such as the police, the school or still the associative fabric. These first elements allow to open the discussion about a partnership plan of interventions establishing a strategy a fight against the insecurity and the feeling of insecurity, so breaking this vicious circle by the implementation of a new local governance of security and the good to live together.
