“…In the same period, it declined in the almost completely rural districts of Labiau in the Regierungsbezirk Konigsberg from 2,512 to 2,132, in Oletzko in the Regierungsbezirk Gumbinnen from 2,115 to 1,311, and in Obornik in the Regierungsbezirk Posen from 2,131 to 1,527. 4 In a previous study, I found a strong correlation between the violent crime rates of Prussian Regierungsbezirke in the 1880s and the early 1900s (r > .6) but not between property crime rates and other crime rates, like that of crimes against the state (McHale and Johnson 1976). Other scholars like Howard Zehr have noted this as well, though I think that Zehr's (1976: 105) statement that "the biggest single cause of variance in assault rates" was regional tradition is perhaps overstating the case.…”

“Good heavens!” I cried. “Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads?”“They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside… But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard's blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser.”—Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Adventure of the Copper Beeches”

“…Various cross-national studies support the specific hypothesis that crime frequencies relate cross-culturally to social differentiation (see Bacon, Child, and Barry 1963;Blackwell 1971;Wolf 1971;Kraus 1973;McHale and Johnson 1977;Shelley 1980Shelley , 1981bBlackwelder and Johnson 1982;Cohen and Johnson 1982;Archer and Gartner 1984;Shichor 1985).…”

This research tests and supports the hypothesis proposed by Durkheim which relates increasing crime frequency to social differentiation as a process of sociocultural evolution. Unlike past tests of this hypothesis, the current study provides a cross‐cultural sample of 121 societies representing a broad range of societal development, geographical dispersion, and cultural diversity. This examination interprets social differentiation in the broader scope of general evolutionary theory, thus providing a between society analysis of sociocultural complexity. While it is recognized that “crime” is not defined the same across all societal types, this research does examine 14 behavioral categories which are of interest to modern criminology.

“…Es la imagen de un Otro peligroso que establece el desorden dentro de la percepción física y simbólica del espacio social. Diferentes formas de "criminalidad" (como la prostitución, el alcoholismo y la locura) fueron consideradas subproductos de las nuevas clases trabajadoras (McHale y Johnson, 1976). En segundo lugar, una solución biomédica a esas circunstancias fue posible debido al estado especial de la medicina en la tradición científi ca alemana.…”

Este trabajo hace parte de una serie más amplia de meditaciones sobre la manera como la violencia, en tanto una forma de negación de lo otro, se inserta y normaliza en la sociedad. En esta línea de trabajo, las relaciones entre el cuerpo, el espacio y el lenguaje constituyen la matriz interpretativa sobre la que se han desarrollado estas meditaciones. En este ámbito, los lenguajes de la ciencia, bien pueden hacer parte de la confi guración de los espacios del terror y la radicalización de ese otro (Castillejo, 1997;2000;2007a, 2007b Todas las traducciones libres son del autor.
