- Abstract
- This article deals with the increasing criminalisation and confinement of youth from poorer districts and primary migrants, carried out that much more often for those who refuse to resign themselves to their position as having “fallen through the cracks”. It is based on some twenty years of field work and multiple ethnographies stemming from stays – mainly in Burkina Faso, Belgium and Malta. The text is subdivided into three parts. The first, more contextual, provides some key elements allowing us to document the confinement of the poor. The second stresses the effects of the processes of criminalization and confinement for those primarily concerned, but also on a societal scale. In concluding the work, the third part questions the tensions and connivances between neo-liberal and security logics. It thus proposes taking another look at the acts young people at risk and primary migrants were convicted of from the joint angle of belonging to a neo-liberal project and resistance to the ostracizations inherent in its inegalitarian functioning.
