Violence in so-called troublesome neighbourhoods occurs within a particular context, marked by geographical segregation, stigmatisation based on ethnic origin and economic and social exclusion. When mixed, these factors produce forms of violence which express themselves according to gender roles (girls' behaviours are quite different from those of boys), but also relate to local historical and cultural contexts, and have turned partly ideological with the growing islamisation of the 1990s. The author shows the significance of the links between neighbourhood, city and even region as they interplay in a mirror game where each one's identity is a function of their reciprocal perception, as well as of the feeling of indignity of those left by society on the side of the road. Their sense of victimisation acquires a particular significance
