Exposé - Sciences sociales - 24 pages - Format Microsoft Word
This paper gives the reader an introduction to a real French suburb. Recently, the suburbs of France are quite in the picture of the world’s media, because of the several riots in November 2005 and even now at this moment. On October the 27th it will be precisely one year ago that the hype around the suburbs in France started. Finally, there was some attention for one of France’s biggest problems: the poverty and arrears quartiers of the cités in Paris, where immigrants live all togother in the most unbearable situations, with violence and drugs use all around. Riots are an essential symptom, therefore this is some of the main elements of this paper.
Because of the fact that drugs and violence are present in a suburb, we will try to find a link between drugs and violence in a French suburb. The focus will be especially on the drugs trade itself, and the consequences for the living population. How is violence connected to drugs in a typical ‘banlieue’ of France ?
