Étude sociojuridique de la criminalité en Haïti au regard de la théorie de l’imbrication territoriale

Abstract

This article examines the evolution of crime in Haiti over the past five years through a socio-legal analysis. By mobilizing Christophe Providence's theory of territorial interweaving, he explores the complex dynamics between the local, national and international levels that influence crime. The study shows that crime trends, such as homicides and kidnappings, are fuelled by socio-economic and institutional factors, as well as conflicting interactions between local and international actors. The results highlight the limits of current approaches to international criminal law and propose recommendations for appropriate management, better integrating territorial realities. This contribution calls for enhanced collaboration between the various actors to reduce the root causes of crime and improve the rule of law in Haiti.
