“…The use of ethnography here has as reference a body of research that analyzes the practices and relationships through which public policy is carried out, referred to as ethnographies of the state (Darley et al, 2010). It starts from the premise that the practices of "street-level bureaucrats" (or SLBs) do not boil down to blindly implementing pre-existing political orientations, but rather contribute decisively to the production of public policy (Lipsky, 1980).…”

Trafficking on Trial: The Judge, the Pimp and the Victim

Based on an ethnography of French trials for trafficking in human beings and aggravated procuring, this article seeks to contribute to the analysis of the reframing, in penal terms, of the struggles engaged in the name of social justice and women’s rights, of which anti-trafficking policies are particularly emblematic. Studying the judging practices and logics at stake during trials reveals how fantasized representations of the pimp and the victim take on substance. In particular, I argue that judges invoke a set of gendered, sexualized and racialized extra-legal norms, which, along with their legal foundations, constitute their knowledge base and impose a moral and penal hierarchy among litigants. Therefore, not only does this analysis contribute to defining the contours of the elusive figures of the pimp and the victim in the penal arena, it also exposes how maintaining public order is based on the perpetuation of a gendered and sexual national order in the name of gender justice.

“…Identifying these stye of policing therefore amounts to examining how the police focus on some offences rather than others, by adjusting their level of proactivity or aggressiveness. In this respect, exploring styles of policing contributes to approaching the state's action as 'an instance of deviance regulation' (Darley et al, 2010; see also Waddington et al, 2009). From this perspective, the specific issue of stop-and-search (called 'identity check' in France, see below) begs the question of what it means to carry out day-to-day policing in Western societies: on the one hand, police forces attempt to deliver effective crime-fighting and to assert their ability to produce order, and on the other hand, officers' actions ought to be both grounded in some form of public consent and mindful of civil liberties (Bowling and Weber, 2011;Bradford, 2017).…”

Styles of policing and police–public interactions: The question of stop-and-search by police units in France

Styles of policing are reflected in the methods, decisions and priorities of law enforcement agencies. Based on an ethnographic study of police work in two major French metropolitan areas, this article identifies the styles of policing enforced in France, based on the use of discretionary stop-and-search. Despite nuances due to the variety of units, places and watch commanders, policing is delivered in a mostly proactive and confrontational way, which is reflected in a proliferation of units having an aggressive mandate. Stop-and-search is used to detect criminal activity, ‘take over’ territories and assert police authority, especially when the latter is challenged.
