In quick 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.

He preferred to appoint his own officials from the lower ranks of society. To the patriarchate, which fell vacant in 1254, he secured the election of a pious but narrow-minded monk called Arsenios. Such men were grateful to accept his orders and do his bidding. For in Theodore's view of things, and perhaps because he had lived in the shadow of a father who was a great emperor, it was an emperor's duty to order and control all departments of Church and State. He neither sought nor commanded the respect of the aristocracy of Nicaea who had helped to bring the Empire to greatness.

In the year 1230, on what had once been Byzantine territory, there were in fact three empires in existence, two Greek and one Latin. But hovering on the side lines was the ruler of Bulgaria, John Asen, who fancied his own chances of mastering Constantinople.
In due course, having established a headquarters and capital in the city of Nicaea in north-western Asia Minor, he adopted the title of Emperor of the Byzantine Empire in exile. A new Orthodox Patriarch was appointed in Nicaea, and in 1208 he placed the imperial crown on the head of Theodore Laskaris. The Byzantine church and state were reborn in Nicaea. 4 The Latin Empire was thus faced with Byzantine resistance from two sides. But the Emperor Baldwin of Flanders, a stranger in a strange land, provoked a third and more dangerous enemy in the north.
