The question of inequality has moved decisively to the top of the contemporary intellectual agenda. Going beyond Thomas Piketty's focus on wealth, increasing inequalities of various kinds, and their impact on social, political and economic life, now present themselves among the most urgent issues facing scholars in the humanities and the social sciences. Key among these is the relationship between inequality, crime and punishment. The propositions that social inequality shapes crime and punishment, and that crime and punishment themselves cause or exacerbate inequality, are conventional wisdom. Yet, paradoxically, they are also controversial.In this volume, historians, criminologists, lawyers, sociologists and political scientists come together to try to solve this paradox by unpacking these relationships in different contexts. The causal mechanisms underlying these correlations call for investigation by means of a sustained programme of research bringing different disciplines to bear on the problem. This volume develops an interdisciplinary approach which builds on but goes beyond recent comparative and historical research on the institutional, cultural and political-economic factors shaping crime and punishment so as better to understand whether, and if so how and why, social and economic inequality influences levels and types of crime and punishment, and conversely whether crime and punishment shape inequalities.

This book investigates perceptions against the people of north-east India, and why such prejudicial attitude exists. It subsequently quantifies and develops measures to counter such stereotypes and affiliated violence. This research examines the north-east Indian population’s and the general Indian population’s understanding of hate crime against the north-eastern population in metropolitan cities of India, both in concept and in perpetration. Further, it evaluates the existing constitutional and statutory provisions in India to determine if the proposed legislation and provisions are sufficient with regards to hate crime against north-eastern people of India. Drawing on empirical research addressing racial hate crimes in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune, this book’s case studies provide a qualitative dive to the problem and offer experiential analysis in order to curate preventive measures. This book is ideal for scholars, researchers, teachers and students interested in hate crime, racial violence, minority struggles, victimology, and law.

La police au sens large - nationale, municipale, privée, gendarmerie - constitue un véritable acteur du jeu politique et un enjeu d'une centralité croissante dans le débat public. Mais elle est aussi un instrument de production de sens et de représentations politiques en ce qu'elle contribue à l'émergence de catégories descriptives qui participent de l'imaginaire collectif : crime crapuleux, outrage, racaille, violence collective, manifestation, ordre public... en sont des exemples connus. La police est devenue un élément incontournable des sociétés contemporaines. Pourquoi et comment la police s'est-elle constituée ? Quelle est la nature de l'organisation policière et quels rapports entretient-elle avec les autorités politiques ? Qui sont les agents de police (leur origine, leur profil) ? En quoi consistent leurs activités et quelles en sont les déviances ? Quelles transformations et réformes sont aujourd'hui possibles ? Pour répondre à l'ensemble de ces questions, ce manuel sans équivalent propose à la fois une sociologie et une science politique de la police. Riche en exemples dépassant le seul cadre français, appuyé sur de nombreux travaux de terrain et une dense littérature, il vient éclairer de manière originale les rapports entre la police et le politique, et interroger le fonctionnement de nos démocraties.
