Understanding the current violence in western suburbs requires the articulation<br />
of several approaches in a global context. Our approach is in the<br />
field of intercultural clinical psychology. It incorporates historic and geopolitical<br />
dimensions understanding of this complex phenomenon.<br />
This communication is based on research conducted on the course of victim<br />
/ offender adolescents through various circles of life (family, schools,<br />
institutions of protection, prison, suburbs, etc.) in France. Some results<br />
of this research show the influence of the colonial divide and political violence<br />
in the development of victimization and delinquency behaviours in<br />
adolescence.<br />
Consequently, accompanying these adolescents requires from the professional<br />
taking into account not only of family, social and cultural factors but<br />
also the global dimension.<br />
