“…Immigration has long been connected to crime. Back in the early 20th century, immigrants from Eastern Europe [7] and migrants from the Black South [8] settled in Chicago and throughout the Northeast. Because these newcomers settled mainly in poor, high crime areas [1], they faced customary fears about the "immigrant problem" [9].…”

George Floyd’s murder by a Minnesota police officer sparked outrage, protests, and a re-evaluation of racial inequities in America. Within criminology, we argue, that re-evaluation should include the Latino Paradox, the idea that Latino communities are an exception—a paradox—in that, while they face economic deprivation, they also possess a magical something that makes them resistant to social problems like crime. Unfortunately, this compels the more delicate question; what is the deficiency in Black communities that makes them so vulnerable to crime? However, as we argue here, the Latino Paradox forces a false comparison. Its assumptions with respect to crime are factually incorrect, it demeans Blacks by neglecting their historical context, it romanticizes the Latino experience, and it misdirects policy making. It also leads to lazy theorizing by suggesting that the Latino Paradox forces a re-evaluation of a major criminology theory, Social Disorganization. Indeed, Social Disorganization Theory can adequately explain past and present links between immigration and crime. In light of these problems, it is time to drop the Latino Paradox as an explanation for the race/ethnic differences in crime.

“…By 1960 over 800,000 African Americans lived in Chicago, almost exclusively in segregated housing on the South and West Sides. 27 In Chicago (and other northern cities) African Americans filled essential jobs in the industrial and service sectors. Chicagoans, regardless whether they were foreign-born or native-born, did not embrace the newcomers.…”

Around 1920 Chicago had emerged as one of the largest centers of Jewish life in the world. However, this is a little-known fact. Jews do not feature prominently in Chicago's history and memory, even though they constituted close to 10% of the city's population during the first half of the 20 th century. The article raises the question why and how Jews became insiders in a city of outsiders, with a focus on the economic and political spheres. A related question is why African Americans who moved to Chicago during the 20 th century from the American South were systematically excluded.

“…Toutefois, contrairement à nombre de banlieues où les familles afro-américaines ont remplacé les classes ouvrières blanches à partir des années 1950 sous l'effet du white flight, l'une des spécificités à Chicago réside dans l'ancienneté du peuplement afro-américain. Cela s'explique notamment par le rôle prépondérant de la ville comme pôle attractif lors de la Grande Migration, c'est-à-dire l'exode des familles noires du Sud vers le Nord industriel à partir de 1916(Grossman, 1991). De ce fait, une large part de ces banlieues possède de longue date une population ouvrière afro-américaine et un parc de logements bon marché, de taille modeste et de qualité médiocre :« Elles ont été construites à l'origine pour des populations avec de faibles revenus.…”

Le pavillon et le bulldozer. Les suburbs en crise face à la vacance résidentielle aux États-Unis

Research on shrinking cities has focused on the decline of city centers in different national settings, demonstrating that urban shrinkage is a global phenomenon with various adjustments at the local scale. This paper aims to shift focus to suburban decline using the case of Chicago's South Suburbs.Drawing from the examples of five shrinking suburban communities, this article shows that innercities and suburbs increasingly face similar concerns. However, although they are confronted with issues similar to those of the urban core, small suburban cities don't have the same resources available. Therefore, their policy regarding residential vacancy relies mostly on demolition, which is encouraged by the requirements attached to urban redevelopment funds. In the absence of any metropolitan governance of decline, the creation by these shrinking suburbs of an organization fostering regional cooperation illustrates how institutional innovation can support joint efforts to face urban decline.
