Résumé anglais Ingredients for a Sociology of Insecurity. While the number of assaults has been more or less stable for several years, the sociology of victimisation is changing. The explosion of violence, linked with entry into consumer society, has coincided with a decrease in surveillance of public spaces. Moreover, the problem of petty crime has not been dealt with in any depth. A show was made, in the 70s, of introducing a system of juvenile justice and in attempting integration through the labour market. With the crisis came a radical modification of the data. Integration via employment became difficult and petty crime, comprising thefts and minor assaults, generated an enormous insecurity complex. In response to a growing sense of exclusion the insecurity which is present in certain problematic districts may be partially explained by a desire to affirm an identity. In the face of this phenomenon, the state has shown its capacity to adapt.
