A change of paradigm : meaning and use of a recurrent quarrel Repression versus prevention. For many years now, the political agenda has been marked by the mediatized recurrent quarrel between the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice opposing the efficiency of repressive measures to maintain the public order to the merits of preventive or educational measures. For us, this recurrent quarrel masks the setting up of another paradigm structuring public policies, linked to the concept of management in order to reduce social risks. The changes of these policies are accompanied by the new problematization on the issue of juvenile delinquency, leading to a redefinition of the goals of public actions, techniques, necessary methods and role of the mobilized actors.

The guaranties necessary for the intervention within the judicial framework and particularly within the private sphere go through the improvement in the information given to the parties about their cases.

Integration and delinquency : avatars of the young Maghrebins delegation The integration of young Maghrebins in the host society supposes some degree of freedom and autonomy as regards their cultural background. But these young people are tied by strong bonds of loyaulty to their origin, with a spectacular come back to its values and confrontation with the law of the host country. Such a confrontation can let us think that the cultural background (OUMMA) in the young Maghrebins' imaginary has taken over the protective, possessive and delegating mother's representation. There has been a shift from the conjugal conflict to the intercultural conflict with the setting of a mechanism of cultural delegation.
