Crimes in Paris

    Crimes in Paris

    You need to apply the main theories in the readings cited below (Scott and Foucault) to my chosen city, Paris France and issue, crimes. You don’t need to use every single idea from all of those theoretical readings; decide which ones work the best for explaining what is going on in the case of crimes in Paris. The class is called Power and place in the city, it is a political science class where we talked mainly about political thoughts and the organization and problems occurring in cities.
