Alain Bauer analyzes urban violence during French social protests

urban violence social movements cost of living protests French state criminology

Criminology professor Alain Bauer has analyzed the recent urban violence that occurred during a mobilization day against the high cost of living in France. Bauer notes that the chaos in several major cities was not unexpected, suggesting it resulted from the intersection of social grievances from the 2018 'Gilets jaunes' movement and the 2023 'Generation Nahel' riots.

Bauer observes that protesters are increasingly targeting local state institutions, such as town halls, schools, and media libraries. He criticizes the French state for its inability to anticipate social crises, arguing that the government often adopts a passive approach, allowing social tensions to worsen rather than addressing them proactively.
