Helmut Thome's Sozialer Wandel und Gewaltkriminalität: Deutschland, England PDF
In quickly allen ökonomisch hoch entwickelten Ländern ist die Gewaltkriminalität in der zweiten Hälfte des vorigen Jahrhunderts deutlich angestiegen - in Umkehrung eines langfristig rückläufigen tendencies individueller (außerstaatlicher) Gewaltanwendung seit Beginn der Neuzeit. Die Autoren entwickeln hierfür einen Erklärungsansatz, der vor allem von Norbert Elias' Zivilisationstheorie und Emile Durkheims Gesellschaftstheorie inspiriert worden ist.

Owing largely to the twin perceptions that the aliens deserved sanctuary for religious conscience and offered potential economic benefits, but also represented a possible threat in many respects, government at both national and local levels sought to regulate and control the immigrants and their interactions with natives.
