Abstract
Categorising Law and Order: the 1992 criminal code reform in France After twenty years of preparation, a new criminal code was adopted in France in 1992. It is made up of laws that institute symbolic and material categories on the basis of which the legitimate power to punish is organized. First, the authors retrace the evolution of the categorising principles used in criminal codes. Then, they analyse the new code in terms of the classes, types and rationales governing the interests protected by it. The results show that law and order in the new code has lost its political dimension and is now dominated by the will to protect the individual. .
