In 2005 France was rocked a series of riots (émeutes). While unprecedented in scale, these disturbances were not in any significant unparalled (Hargreaves, 2005; Hamidi, 2009: 140). Violence in the suburbs and the isolation of French youths are not new phenomena (Cesari, 2005) and ‘there have been similar disorders in disadvantaged urban areas containing dense concentrations of ethnic minority populations (neighbourhoods generally referred to as the banlieues — a term which is defined below) since the late 1970s’ (Hargreaves, 2005).
