"PARIS — Violent unrest that swept France after the deadly police shooting of a teenager appeared to be calming Monday as authorities rallied to assert control and the victim's family called for calm.

French police said they arrested 157 people nationwide Sunday night as almost a week of violent protests and riots sparked by the 17-year-old boy's killing appeared to slow.

The numbers have decreased dramatically from the height of the violence late last week, when more than 1,300 people were arrested in a single night and tens of thousands of officers were deployed to the streets of major cities.

Throughout six days of protests, young demonstrators destroyed about 5,000 vehicles, burned and looted about 1,000 buildings and injured more than 750 police officers, the French Interior Ministry said.

Sunday night’s diminished riots bookended a week of extraordinary violence in a nation that has long been accustomed to social and political unrest. But long-standing tensions between police and minority groups in France’s “banlieue” — the suburbs that ring many of its major cities and are often dominated by high-rise public housing — appear likely to persist."
