Links between psychology and law rightly raise more and more scientific awareness. The human being, as the common object of this two fields, is studied from both an individual and a social perspective. This stream is an invitation to build an interface and exchange between clinical psychology, cross cultural psychology, justice and law through a critical perspective. This critical approach can be reached with a psychoanalytical lecture of society. Indeed, this stream aims at enlightening Law by opening a dialogue with respect to social ties within a legal emergency legislative culture, migrants rights, post-colonial laws, counterterrorist justice. The violence/criminality and colonialism/migration proposed topics are in keeping with a transversal approach. In this approach, the researches belong to an always renewed process, linking psyche, culture and society.

Emergency and its deadly politics

Yann Zoldan, University Toulouse Jean-Jaurès - yann.zoldan@gmail.com


It has been shown by sociological studies that new management brings a work under emergency that is a real threat to workers’ solidarity. Nowadays there is an emergency culture and we are all under the rules of the emergency as it can be seen with the example of the French “état d’urgence” and its worldwide laws. This emergency culture is based on various capitalist’s restructuration like open spaces, politics of transparency, etc. All the society is now dealing with those new forms of interaction; we are living in a panoptical society where intimacy doesn’t exist any longer. Alongside of specific laws there are many psychological consequences: we are leaving in a hyperactive society where hypervigilance is required. Subjects are experiencing a manic response toward the anguish of destiny, death. This refusal of passivity is a real challenge for the psychoanalytical and psychopathological approach. A society needs complexity and a balance between active and passive tendencies. A new monolithic society emerges with the rejection and fear of the others. Deadly politics are created toward the illusion of security, as if a dead society could protect from the reality of death. The non-acceptance of this reality is a threat against a common social bound. For those reasons terrorists and antiterrorists share a common discourse, the one of the fascist incest against the diversity and the unsafe reality of love and revolution. Critical psychological approach will try to raise those questions in order to think a collective emancipation.

From “sacrified youth” to radical fanaticism: Reflection on the phenomenon of radicalisation

Lucie Rodrigues, University Toulouse Jean-Jaurès - lucie.b.rodrigues@gmail.com


In this work, we will re-consider the phenomenon of radicalisation by questioning its relationship to the contemporary social link. To deal with this subject, we chose to start from the thesis of P. Dardot and C. Laval (1):
« [...]le néolibéralisme, avant d'être une idéologie ou une politique économique, est d'abord et fondamentalement une rationalité, et qu'à ce titre il tend à structurer et organiser, non seulement l'action des gouvernants, mais jusqu'à la conduite des gouvernés eux-mêmes. »
This will then allow us to discuss two types of rationalities which seem to be situated in opposition: a « neoliberal rationality », and what we call « djihadic rationality ». The first one defines the underlying logic in our modernity ruled by the speech of the capitalist especially as defined by J. Lacan. The second shows the structuring of the social link suggested by the organization of Daesh. From the definition and the debate on these two rationalities, we wish to study the relation of the so called « sacrificed youth »» to this phenomenon of radicalisation, in particular when it ends in a suicide attack. Our work will be based on written testimonies and testimonies from the media as well as on G. Agamben's ideas about the condition of the Homo Sacer. This work will then, make it clear that these two rationalities, far from being opposite, seem to be sometimes situated in continuity or even to answer each other in mirror effects. We shall study then how the contextual coexistence of these two rationalities, their dialogue in a society characterized by a global capitalist speech, can be the fertile ground for a phenomenon of radicalisation. To go beyond this conclusion, we shall question the different alternatives to the speech of the capitalist which can be offered to this sacrificed youth.

The police force’s role in conflict management and resolution is pivotal in crime prevention and maintaining law and order in India and no substantial study is available so far. This study investigates the following objectives: (a) to understand and analyze causes of conflict between the public and the police, (b) recognize ways in which conflict situations are handled at the police station, (c) determine gaps between existing methods versus an ideal way of police resolution of conflict situations (d) develop recommendations for working together as a system.
The total respondents, 3231 police personnels and 1630 civilians were recruited from both rural and urban areas of four states (Chandigarh, Delhi NCR, Haryana, and Punjab) through convenience sampling and simple random sampling respectively. Separate survey questionnaire were administered to both groups. ANOVA, t-test and comparative analysis revealed the following findings: (a) Both police and the civilians perceived that efficiency was an issue with the police personnels; (b) Discrepancy existed in the perception of police and civilians on issues such as police handling and resolution of the conflict situation; (c)Garima Jain and Dr. Sanjeev P. Sahni
Lack of awareness amongst civilians about civil and criminal procedures, over expectation of the civilians from the police, lack of respect of the police personnels towards the public, and corruption were identified as deterrents to the conflict resolution process. The findings have policy and program implications and is an important resource in creating social-educational, awareness and sensitization programmes for both public and police personnels.

Panel 2: Crime and Punishment

Criminality in modern times: A clinical study of the violent criminal act from the author/victim couple

Mathilde Coulanges, University Toulouse Jean-Jaurès - mathilde.coulanges@gmail.com


Violence and criminality are breaking news. The emergence of violent criminal acts and their prevention feed current sociopolitical and scientific debates. From a socio-penal and scientific point of view, the heterogeneousness of criminal violence may lead to distinguish the criminal acts according to their nature. For example, sexual offenses, and their authors, are the object of specific considerations both on the scientific level and from the judiciary and sanitary view point. However, we ought to widen our perspective and focus on all violent offenses committed against people (Moulin, 2010) and thus to question the psychic processes underlying the act whatever it may be.
Besides, professional practices are always actualized under legal securitarian policies and their praxeological, judiciary and clinical applications. Multidisciplinary answers articulate the justice and health domains: this includes care organization in forensic, social counseling, legal monitoring and relapse prevention. However, the duality author/victim in practices continues to emphasize the specificity of some violent offences and lead to the risk of reducing the criminal to his act.
By relying on a psychodynamic perspective and starting from a clinical case, we question the relationship between an author and his criminal act (feelings, recognition of the act, responsibility/guilt, the course of life). More specifically, we aim at bringing out the heuristic impacts of this study from the point of view of the couple author/victim. The purpose of this communication is to question the psychic construction of a victim for an author (psychological function, place, investment) from the analysis of the modus operandi, and the representations of the couple author/victim in the psychic economy of the author. This will finally lead us to discuss practical and clinical effects.

Owing to the rarest of the rare doctrine for capital punishment in Indian legislation, it seems prerogative to take into consideration the views and opinions of the people pertaining to capital punishment and its practice in any form. The present study is first of its kind where we collected 25210 responses from general population from almost all states and union territories of India. An anonymous self-administered survey was formulated comprising of 15 items and disseminated via online and offline method. The purpose of this study to assess public attitude towards capital punishment, the type of crime and circumstances for which death penalty is favored, the level of support among various subpopulation and understanding the reasons, socio- psychological and attitudinal correlates of death penalty in India. It has been observed that an overwhelming 79% of the respondents favor legalizing capital punishment for specific crimes. Logistic regression and association rule analysis revealed that generally people who supported death penalty tend to be females, elderly, middle and upper class economic status, Hindu, businessman & self-employed. The support of death penalty with respect to demographic correlates for various crimes ranging from treason, murder, rape, terrorist attack, genocide, dowry death, human trafficking, drug trafficking and offences against children is also examined. Research results further indicated that 20% of the total sample favor abolishing death penalty owing to various factors like violates right to life, uneconomical, due to its barbaric, arbitrary & irretrievable nature. Explanation of this finding and is implication for legislative and judicial decision makers is discussed further.

Issues to bullying: between psychical reparation and penal sanction.

Nowadays, bullying is one of the main political fights in France. Its issue is at the heart of current concerns of public health actors in France. According to this awareness, November the 5th has become “national day” against bullying. At first, bullying might be compare to moral harassment. Nevertheless, the first difference is about the young audience concerned. Thus, it comes throughout the complex phenomenon of adolescence, at the time of identity-building.
Despite multidisciplinary debates bullying belongs to, there is no specific legal definition of it. There are only ones about sexual harassment, marital or work. Currently in France, no one can be convicted of some form of bullying against a student in school. There is a form of normalization of violence intra-institutional setting any difficulty prosecution. Because of this awareness, many french associations involved in the fight against the bullying and / or outside school, for twenty years. Their purpose was at first to awaken the responsibility of everyone on the excesses of bullying practices and serious consequences on the physical and mental integrity of the victims. But, secondly, it’s became a way to pass a law condemning the acts of perpetrators.
In terms of clinical psychology, we want to question two levels: on the right hand, the consequences of an only legal outcome, and on the other hand, the place of subjectivity in this debate. According to the marital harassment, if we deal with bullying through a nosography, we take the risk to reduce bullying, young people and above all adolescence, to a psychiatric disease. However, it’s necessary to consider the adolescence process, with its inherent violence. How successfully does not reduce a subject to be his actions? The aim would be to protect him from a stop in his psychical development, to allow the adolescent subjectivation process.

Ambivalent sexism and moral values: A way to understand men’s rape proclivity in Brazil and England

Cultures that legitimize discrimination and prejudice against women and tolerate gender inequality may indirectly promote different forms of violence (i.e., rape). From this point of view, the occurrence of sexual violence ought not to be understood as an individual problem, but as a social one, as a set of social norms serve as a backdrop to the act. Research evidence suggests that the endorsement of sexist attitudes towards women is linked to acceptance of interpersonal violence, rape myth acceptance, victim-blaming, as well as men’s rape proclivity, indicating the relevance of this construct in terms of the understanding of sexual violence perpetration. Nevertheless, its relationship with the moral domain has not been tested yet. Thus, this study aimed to explore the relationship between moral values and ambivalent sexism for adult men in Brazil and England. Two studies were conducted and participants were adult men (over 18 years old) from Brazil and England. Participants were recruited either at universities or in public spaces (study 01) or invited to answer an online survey (study 02). For the first study, measures about Ambivalent Sexism, Moral Values, as well as socio-demographic questions were included. For the second study, three different scenarios were created in order to manipulate participants’ exposure to different forms of sexism and measures of rape proclivity and rape myth acceptance were also included. The results from the univariate General Linear Model (GLM) showed that the Brazilian sample showed significant relationship with hostile sexism, but not with benevolent sexism. When the analysis was carried over to find possible moral dimensions as mediators between the nationality group and benevolent and hostile sexism. Therefore, the results presented significant relationships that are explored in both studies.

Panel 3: Human being Instrumentalization

Cyborg imaginaries in law

Mika Viljanen, University of Turku - mivevi@utu.fi


Legal and regulatory theory has typically relied on three broad-stroke impact imaginaries that explain how legal interventions effect changes in their targets. Legal interventions have an impact on their targets as 1) individuals seek to evade the sanctions associated with non-compliance, 2) individuals seek to maximise their utility and the rules create incentives that affect utility calculations, and 3) rules affect the moral and social norms individuals follow.
The paper analyses two cutting-edge regulatory projects, nudging and the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Program by the Basel Committee on Banking regulation and uses cybernetic and distributed cognition theory to argue that a novel impact imaginary informs these projects. The emergent cyborg impact imaginary is characterised by the mechanism it enacts and performs to facilitate behavioural manipulation. Under this imaginary, regulation, first, treats its subjects as malleable information processing machines—that is as cybernetic organisms. Second, regulation seeks to effect effect desired behavioural changes by affecting the subjects’ material cognitive processes. For example, in nudging regulators attempt to determine which cognitive systems are active when the subject makes a choice, while in ICAAP the desired behavioural responses are functions of highly complicated assemblages of technological, theoretical, physical and human material.
The emergence of the cyborg impact imaginary has important implications. The paper discusses the ontology of cyborg legal subjects, the effects of the imaginary on the anthropocentricity of modern law and the politics of cyborg imaginaries.

The legal filiation relates to the family’s relationship which binds an individual to one or several people. It allows to recognize socially the family ties. So the law is interested in the filiation in its interpersonal dimension. It deals with the question of the successions, the inheritances and the parental rights. From a psychic point of view, the filiation constitutes a process where the subject recognizes himself, represents himself as belonging to a lineage, thanks to the affects, but also thanks to the biological and body links.
So, from a clinical perspective, the filiation deals with the factual external reality - the legal filiation - and the internal psychic reality of the subject, the fantasmatic one.
In our contemporary societies, Medically Assisted Procreation, join the natural conception and adoption within the various modalities of the « faire famille " (the way family is created). Then, physical links (pregnancy) and the biological ones (genetic), between the mother and her child, is no longer such an evidence, questioning not only the legal filiation but also its inscription in the offspring’s psyche. According to the law, in the case of the egg donation, the legal filiation recognizes the woman who carries the child as the mother. When surrogacies are allowed, it is the genetic link, or the intended parents’ desire, which make the filiation. But what about the feeling of filiation of the subject born thanks to these various techniques of procreation?
Beyond the societal and legal debate, we want to question the specificities of the filiation’s psychical inscription linked with the various way of "faire famille ".

This communication has as objective to present a research project which aims to compare the social’s representations of homoparentality from psychologists working in the legal field in France and Brazil. Whereas this professional context involves the establishment / legitimization of LGBT families, it gives specific objectives identify forms of constitution of homoparental families and the different ways in which these forms of family constitution are represented by legal psychologists who work with LGBT families France and Brazil; Compare representations systems involving homoparental families through the study of social representations about adoption in homoparental families in France and Brazil; Analyze the ethical implications of specific social representations to each culture in the professional practices of legal psychologists in France and Brazil . Following the intercultural perspective and the anthropological approach, the research will focus on the comprehensive approach to comparative studies. A critical approach to assessing the similarities and differences considering the specificities of each cultural context. It is opposed to the pragmatic comparative approach aimed at universality of practices as well as the transferability of " good practices " (Regnault, 2015). The research will be developed together with the psychologists who intervene in support of legal services to families that meet the LGBT population in France and Brazil. At first it will be offered an online questionnaire prepared in Portuguese and translated into French according to the methodology of translation, transcultural adaptation proposed by Beaton, Bombardier, Guillemin & Ferraz (2002). In a second stage will be carried out semi-structured face interviews with some participants. It will be used for thematic content analysis of Bardin (1977) following the next operational steps: creation of the corpus, floating reading, coding, categorization and inferences.

Growing old and experiencing memory disorders what perspectives for elderly migrants

Our communication will be based on a research in the cross-cultural psychology field. This research aims at proposing guidance with respect to the evaluation and identification of cognitive impairments for elderly from minority groups and who may be illiterate or may not speak the language of the country they are living in.
The important migration waves of the 20th century raise the question of the migrants’ intercultural temporality. For instance, in France, several studies stated a "surprise" related to individuals from minority groups, who came to France during the 60s and 70s, and who were not really expected to “grow old” in France.
This reality is now a society issue and has to be addressed by the public health policies. For such persons, due to the lack of appropriate evaluation tools and professionals who can address the person in the appropriate language, the dementia diagnosis, such as for the Alzheimer disease, will be proposed at a late stage, when the impact on the person’s life becomes significant.
Thus, our research considers the way to take into account the specificity of these elderly migrants. When it comes to memory impairments, several questions raise with respect to identity and life history. How to consider such elderly migrants when memory disorders appear? Are we still an elderly immigrant when the memory of our life before the migration is no more? Or are we always an elderly immigrant when our life after the migration has disappeared from our memory?
Sometimes a forgotten history of violence may come back in the migrants’ life. Sometimes, only memories from the life before the migration will remain… It is now time to provide those populations with adequate institutional and care programs that respect intercultural temporality.
