<br/><br/> The judicial public service in the context of overseas territories has often to align itself with the sociological particularities and the community structure of numerous island societies. Thus, overseas France presents itself as a laboratory for the experimentation of new procedures whether this be in the areas of crime-prevention and policies for towns, or new forms of judicial action such as community justice and municipal judges. Judicial activity overseas has two faces : it guarantees state sovereignty but is in line with social realities and cultural specificities.
