France is known for its vibrant protest culture, often shifting from political demonstrations to riots and violence, as seen in the 2005 suburban riots and the Yellow Vest movement. What explains these phenomena, and how do they relate to police organization? Social scientist Fabien Jobard has studied these issues through comparative research, providing valuable insights from a German perspective.
Fabien Jobard is a political scientist and research director at the Franco-German social science institute, the Centre Marc Bloch, in Berlin. From 2001 to 2008, he led the Franco-German “Laboratoire européen associé,” focusing on crime and security policies in Germany and France. From 2010 to 2014, he headed the CESDIP (Centre de recherches sociologiques sur le droit et les institutions pénales). His research and teaching focus on police sociology, the topic of his doctoral dissertation in 1998.
