“…A já vasta literatura produzida sobre o tema também detecta alterações significativas no perfil da criminalidade e nos padrões de condutas violentas que acompanham as tendências declinantes de longa duração. De modo geral, as mudanças nos padrões da criminalidade vão de uma violência predominantemente espontânea, estreitamente associada a noções de honra e com forte conteúdo ritual, para padrões de agressão mais premeditada, envolvendo cálculo e finalidade (Spierenburg, 1994). Ambos os fenômenos revelam importantes mudanças nas formas de interação social e usos legítimos da violência, o que, por sua vez, estaria a indicar um progressivo controle e ordenamento do espaço social e pacificação da vida cotidiana por mecanismos internos e externos de autocontrole dos impulsos violentos.…”

“…The following half century saw this type of homicide decline to between one third and a half, and the killing of strangers gave way to the killing of intimates. 78 The first serious study of England to suggest such a trend was J. A. Sharpe's analysis of domestic homicide in Essex in the early modern period which concluded that it 'constituted a smaller proportion of all homicides' in 1709; 79 but from that point there was an exponential rise in spouse or family killing, a proposition supported by J. S. Cockburn's work on Kent.…”

The purpose of this article is to address the lacuna in our knowledge of the extent of interpersonal violence in eighteenth-century Scotland, with particular reference to homicide, and in doing so use these findings to examine the theoretical and empirical issues that have dominated historical discourse regarding this phenomenon over the last few decades. Essentially, it seeks to challenge widely held explanations for the alleged long-term decline in homicide, arguing that incidences of murder in the eighteenth century were affected more by political tensions and socioeconomic dislocation than by cultural changes in taste and manners. It also criticises the methodological weaknesses evident in longitudinal studies of homicide and tries to resolve them in two ways: firstly, by adjusting the homicide rate to take account of the rises and falls in population in the period 1700-1799; and, secondly, by providing national data rather than relying on extrapolating national trends from local or regional studies. Finally, it is argued that the main assumptions of historians working in the field of homicide studies are in the light of evidence for Scotland in need of revision as data from there provide little support for a linear fall in the level of homicides, or a link with shifts in sentiment and/or taste as put forward by those influenced by the civilising theories of Norbert Elias.

“…Civilizing offensives generally seek to shame and embarrass individuals into compliance with more acceptable standards of conduct, the ultimate goal being the creation of both social and self-control. Interpersonal violence is an example of a behavior that has been reduced in Western societies since the Middle Ages as a result of these processes (Elias 2000;Spierenburg 1994;Mares 2004Mares , 2009). The key reason why violence has dropped over the centuries is not because of the seriousness of the penalty, or the growing certainty of apprehension, but rather because violence is increasingly seen as distasteful conduct.…”

Criminalizing Ecological Harm: Crimes Against Carrying Capacity and the Criminalization of Eco-Sinners

Crit Crim

This article examines how a broader class of environmentally harmful behavior can be examined from a criminological frame of reference. By using examples of soil degradation and anthropogenic climate change, it is argued that environmentally damaging behavior is similar to many other types of crime. Particularly when taken from the standpoint that environmentally harmful behavior is ultimately detrimental to human social organizations by undermining 'carrying capacity', outright criminalization might strike many as a valid option. Nonetheless, there are also some fundamental differences that will ultimately prevent a strict legalistic perspective from being successful in minimizing ecological harm. Instead, this article argues that criminologists need to emphasize the importance of shaming and status rewards in pursuing a greener future.
