Thesis working title:The construction of citizens' relations to state institutions: the case of citizens' rapports to the police in France and the United States
This dissertation aims to analyze the processes and mechanisms through which citizens form their opinions regarding the police, both in France and the United States. More specifically, it seeks to assess the weight of political identities on citizens’ relationship with state institutions and measure the role played by psychological and emotional factors in the construction of this relationship with the police. This work is based on the comparison of two cities : Paris (France) and New York City (USA).
