Public policies against violence

The study "public policies against violence" offers a reflection on the public policies set up to fight against violence.

By questioning the possibility of implementing a policy aimed at ending violence, this panel of researchers attempts a critical analysis of the conditions that would allow a lasting peace and the limits that remain.

Through a sociological approach, the study demonstrates the social character of these policies and presents transitional justice as a means of organising the different forms of public policies against violence.

Transitional justice, which tends to criminalise political violence, appears to be a way to focus on victims whose status must be recognised through various measures, be they material, symbolic or public.
