【 摘 要 】

In many disadvantaged neighbourhoods, inhabited by both socially deprived populations and by immigrants, the sense of insecurity is particularly strong. The aim of this article is to determine the origin of this sense of insecurity by dissociating the crossing of a hypothetical foreigner "tolerance threshold" from the simple concentration of poverty. In other words, is the problem a social issue or a race issue, in the knowledge that immigrants frequently combine both of these aspects ? The answer to this question shapes the choice of solutions adopted by the public authorities and the various local social actors. As poor neighbourhoods are socially heterogeneous, the degree of social disadvantage is captured here by the unemployment rate. We find that high unemployment has a negative impact on inhabitants' attitudes towards their neighbourhood. To explore the sense of insecurity in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, an initial methodological problem must first be resolved : that of not influencing the responses of persons naturally inclined to complain about insecurity.
