Location: 715B (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC21 Regional and Urban Development (host committee)

Language: French, English and Spanish

Urban crime and violence is both a continuous topic for Sociology, Criminology, Economy, Political Science and other disciplines. There are several recognized canonic studies on the phenomena as well as new discussions of what is urban violence, how to define it and study it. The session will invite papers that discuss both current (inter)disciplinary thinking of the topic of urban violence as well as theoretical proposals to rethink the topic. Paper on governance of crime and urban-state violence will be accepted. Will also accept papers of comparative (empirical) approaches as well as papers that address the topics from both urban and criminal sociological orientations.
