  Normandy customs and jurisprudence: influences from here and elsewhere

  Influences d'ici et d'ailleurs

  Le juge joue un rôle essentiel dans la validation du droit coutumier. S’il ne participe pas directement à son élaboration, c’est lui qui en reconnaît l’existence et le consacre par la décision qu’il rend. Bien souvent, c’est son intervention qui donne corps aux règles coutumières. C’est aussi elle qui permet l’évolution de ces dernières. Coutume et jurisprudence semblent ainsi inexorablement liées. Pourtant, alors même que divers travaux se sont récemment encore penchés sur cette question problématique, voire épineuse, les liens entre coutume et jurisprudence appellent encore bien des travaux, en particulier en Normandie.

  Third International Student Symposium on the History of Crime

  The International Symposium on the History of Crime is a forum for international university students to explore the understanding of issues surrounding the history of crime. The annual symposium was created to bring together doctoral, masters, and undergraduate students as well as early career academics in a friendly academic environment that facilitates discussion around history of crime issues. This Third edition will be attended by students and academics from the USA, UK and France. The symposium is deliberately broad in reach and we make every effort to draw together wide and diverse topics in order that contributors feel encouraged to participate and present their research in-progress as well as engaging and informative short papers.

  Police and Public Order in France and England (1750-1850)

  Perspectives from current historiography

  Traditional historiography has often opposed the French police model to its English counterpart. However, for twenty years, many researchers relativized the differences of these models and focused more on the interactions between cultures of social control. Recent studies have shown the limits of approaches focused on the only national police models as well as the importance of the circulation of police knowledge and technics in the late 18th century and early 19th century. Everywhere in Europe, this period is marked by the will to reform and by reflections on the procedures for the exercise of the police. Through a panel of international researchers, the conference aims to investigate beyond the national perspective by questioning the permanence and changes in police practices on both sides of the Channel. We will ultimately highlight the major trends of contemporary historiography and identify new paths of work.
