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 developments 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.

Sample text
As the war progressed the industry was subject to an increasingly stringent regime of State controls and though the initial motives for intervention were primarily logistic, political factors intruded at an early stage. This was partly a reflection of the immense strategic importance of coalmining in the economy, but more fundamentally it was a response on the part of Government to rapidly deteriorating labour relations. In neither sense does the war mark a discontinuity in the history of the industry.
The scheme of Sir Hubert Llewellyn Smith, Permanent Secretary at the Board ofTrade, is interesting in that it was formulated in response to the Gainford scheme and was designed to avoid the danger to the consumer of consolidating the control of coal supplies in the hands of a limited number of district combinations. In this respect it was a tacit acceptance of the fact that the safeguards necessary in Llewellyn Smith's view to protect the consumer would seriously inhibit any movement towards voluntary combination.

In this context the insatiable demand for coal for the allied war effort, together with the enlistment of large numbers of skilled miners in the armed forces, and unavoidable difficulties in obtaining plant and equipment, militated against the planned expansion of output; the more accessible and richer seams were worked out and colliery development work retarded.
