This conference will be the culmination of a series of workshops which have been jointly sponsored by the French National Research Agency, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, the Institute for Social Sciences of Politics in the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, the Centre Marc-Bloch in Berlin, the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, and the University of Illinois College of Law in Urbana-Champaign.
The workshop series examined how law enforcement agencies and other public administrations involved in crime reduction obtain, process, and use information to construct their knowledge about social unrest, crime problems, and security risks in the communities for which they are responsible. The conference will examine how law enforcement agencies and their partners share information with other security professionals (such as intelligence agencies or managers responsible for security issues in housing project or public transportation companies); how local, decentralized services collaborate with national, central authorities, including immigration agencies; and how the police balance community outreach with other crime control strategies, including covert surveillance, mediation, the deployment of mobile intervention units, and stop-and-frisk strategies, which have generated a great deal of controversy in New York. The conference will examine the tensions that may exist between new claims of expertise by intelligence units within the police and by other security professionals working with cities on the development of crime-reduction plans, on the one hand, and the new more inclusive models of policing that have called for wider democratic participation in the analysis of crime problems by stakeholders within local communities. Accordingly, it will be examined the ways in which security partnerships involving wide ranges of police and non-police actors have developed new, participatory ways of analyzing intelligence about crime along with new forms of shared expertise and experimentation with control strategies.
