Abstract

This book challenges current thinking about youth violence and gangs, and their racialisation by the media and the police. It highlights how the street gang label is unfairly linked to Black (and urban) youth street-based lifestyles/cultures and friendship groups.

Abstract

Utilising individual interviews and focus group discussions, primarily from two Chinese cities, 'The Chinese Mafia' contributes to the understanding of organized crime and corruption in the Chinese context, filling a significant gap in criminological literature, by investigating how extra-legal protectors - corrupt public officials and street gangsters - emerge, evolve and operate in a rapidly changing society. China's economic reforms have been accompanied by a surge of social problems, such as ineffective legal institutions, booming black markets and rampant corruption. This has resulted in the rise of extra-legal means of protection and enforcement: such is the demand for protection that cannot be fulfilled by state-sponsored institutions.

Abstract

"Nouvelle 'forme de criminalité' à Kinshasa, le phénomène 'kuluna' est au cœur des problèmes sociaux, politiques et économiques ainsi que des pratiques de leur gestion en République Démocratique du Congo. Face aux actes violents des jeunes regroupés en bandes, et à la forte expression populaire d'un sentiment d'insécurité, une opération policière 'spéciale' d'envergure a été menée en 2013: l'opération 'Likofi' (Coup de poing, en français). Cet ouvrage présente les résultats d'une recherche de terrain sur les significations de cette violence, pour ces jeunes, et de la réaction policière."--Page 4 of cover.
