This doesn't appear to be just an "individual case of crime": more than 20 cities imposed nighttime curfews for their youngest citizens. As 70 million tourists swarm into France for vacation season, visitors are being warned to stay away from “problem areas.” Security details have been deployed on the glittering beaches of Cannes and Nice, where incidents of armed robbery have doubled this year. Desperate not to appear lax, some French authorities, including Chirac, are pushing to adopt a policy of “zero tolerance” toward youthful offenders Not quite. If the Prime Minister is on the case, it's not "individual case of crime". In Strasbourg, angry youths used to burn one or two cars a week. Now it’s several a night. Beleaguered bus drivers are regularly assaulted. Re-read that. It's not about "an individual case of crime". As I said, it sounds very familiar.
