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 traits 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.

In 1646 Monck was offered his freedom on condition that he would join the New Model Army and serve with it in Ireland. He agreed to do so and soon showed his military worth commanding Parliamentary forces in Ulster. Cromwell was so impressed by his qualities that he decided to give him command of a regiment of his own.

But it transpired that, by a remarkable coincidence, this was the very regiment that had captured Monck in 1644 when he was a Royalist and they understandably refused to accept him now as their Commanding Officer.
