It had its hour of glory during the publication of the works of Shaw and McKay of the University of Chicago. In this article - which is an account of the studies on the concentration of criminals in urban areas - we show that, since the XIXth century, large metropolises have relatively stable sectors where the social control is weak and opportunities to commit crimes are numerous. Networks of juvenile delinquents and adult criminals develop in these areas, fostering the transmission of criminal solutions. The article contains a description of the process that leads to the emergence of a crime zone. It ends with a critique on ecological studies and by an appeal for the study of conflicts within these criminal networks. 410 0$aClassiques des sciences sociales. 606 $aCriminology$xBibliography 606 $aCrime and criminals 615 0$aCriminology$xBibliography. 615 0$aCrime and criminals. 676 $a364 700 $aCusson$b Maurice$0268925 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131174803321 996 $aLes zones urbaines criminelles$92173767 997 $aUNINA
