“…There are several reasons why one should accept the death rate as a decent, though far from perfect, measure of poverty. Not only have many other scholars studying Germany and other lands demonstrated, often mathematically, the strong link between poverty and death, 23 but in my other studies I have found a very strong correlation between the death rate and other measures of well-being and hardship at other levels of analysis, and quite similar correlations between crime variables and the death rate and other measures of well-being and hardship (Johnson and McHale 1980). The significance of the poverty and ethnicity variables is even more evident in Tables 6 and 7, where Prussian Stadtkreise and Landkreise are treated separately.…”

“…Though these observations are based on the rather dubious clas-sification of convictions per 100,000 legally liable population for all serious crimes and misdemeanors (Verbrechen und Vergehen), and adult male criminality accounted for the bulk of the figures (as the adult male rate was roughly five times the adult female rate and three times the juvenile rate), this same tripartite geographic division would seem to apply for women and juveniles and for less suspect individual offenses, such as assault and battery and especially common theft (Johnson and McHale 1980;Reed 1981). Thus the districts with extremely high or extremely low rates of adult male criminality also had extremely high or extremely low rates of adult female and juvenile criminality (notice in Table 1, for example, the extremely high rates for all three groups in the northeastern border districts of Gumbinnen, Bromberg, and Oppeln and the extremely low rates in the western districts of Miinster and Minden).…”
