I luoghi della contraddizione. “La ferocia” e i “crime dramas” statunitensi.
2016
l romanzo di Nicola Lagioia non è soltanto la storia di una famiglia di famelici palazzinari mossi da appetiti materiali, è anche il ritratto impietoso di “una terra sulla quale bisognava avere il fegato di chinarsi baciandola a colpi di martello pneumatico”: la Puglia. L’autore offre la propria interpretazione della contingenza storica, epocale, sociale, attraverso descrizioni che diventano vero motore della narrazione. Mai semplicemente referenziale e sostitutiva dell’intervento autoriale diretto, la descrittività si fa “giudicante” per rappresentare quella cementificazione senza fine che ha portato al moltiplicarsi dei non-luoghi nell’Italia di fine Novecento. Il microcosmo barese, così,…
La novela negra como «transgénero»: éticas transnacionales en la feminización del canon
2021
El presente trabajo supone una pequeña aportación en la búsqueda de modelos de análisis «interseccionales» (Hill Collins y Bilge 2016/2020) que permitan analizar desde el feminismo las denominadas «transnacionalidades mínimas» (Lionnet y Shih 2005). Modelos que, en definitiva, superen la todavía fuerte adscripción de muchos feminismos a los bloques geotextuales heredados del patriarcado. Desde sus orígenes, los feminismos han empleado la traducción para subvertir los géneros textuales (Godard 1987: 6; Simon 1996: 46) y, en definitiva, para luchar contra el ostracismo literario que comparten con otros colectivos de la lucha postcolonial. Unas y otros han visto su diálogo y mutua comprensión …

Compari di san Giovanni. Matrimoni e battesimi nella mafia dell’agro palermitano negli anni Venti
2017
Matrimonies and Baptisms in the Mafia of Palermo during the Twenties Historical sources have demonstrated that, since the origins of the Mafia, it has always had strong links with religion. Often, mafiosi appear to conform to Christian values: they usually go to Mass and celebrate baptisms and marriages, or tend to use religious symbols, such as crosses or holy pictures. They favour the preservation of a traditional society, outwardly based on hierarchical values and family unity. However, their ceremonies and family ties are used to reinforce criminal alliances, often ratified by comparaggio, the strong tie that arises from baptism. This article, based mainly on police and judiciary source…

Die mafiaartige organisierte Kriminalität und das italienische Strafrechtssystem
2013
Nach eine Einführung über die Mitwirkung von Recht und Gesellschaft in der italiänischen Einsatz gegen die Mafiartige Kriminalität, wird die ursprünglich ausdrückliche Nichtberücksichtigung des Problems im italienischen Strafgesetzbuch sowie der ersten außer-strafrechtlichen Maßnahmen dargestllt. Dann werden drei Antimafia-Phasen im italienischen Strafrechtssystem zusammengefasst: Eine erste Gruppe von Maßnahmen, die infolge des grundlegenden Gesetzes von 1982 und in den folgenden zehn Jahren in Kraft traten; eine zweite Gruppe von Normen, die nach den Morden an den Richtern Giovanni Falcone und Paolo Borsellino 1992 eingeführt wurden (auch mit Bezugnahme auf den entscheidenden Bereich der …
The Phenomenology of Specialization of Criminal Suspects
2012
A criminal career can be either general, with the criminal committing different types of crimes, or specialized, with the criminal committing a specific type of crime. A central problem in the study of crime specialization is to determine, from the perspective of the criminal, which crimes should be considered similar and which crimes should be considered distinct. We study a large set of Swedish suspects to empirically investigate generalist and specialist behavior in crime. We show that there is a large group of suspects who can be described as generalists. At the same time, we observe a non-trivial pattern of specialization across age and gender of suspects. Women are less prone to commi…
Prevalence of intimate partner violence against women in Sweden and Spain: A psychometric study of the 'Nordic paradox'.
2019
The high prevalence of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) in countries with high levels of gender equality has been defined as the "Nordic paradox". In this study we compared physical and sexual IPVAW prevalence data in two countries exemplifying the Nordic paradox: Sweden (N = 1483) and Spain (N = 1447). Data was drawn from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights Survey on violence against women. To ascertain whether differences between these two countries reflect true differences in IPVAW prevalence, and to rule out the possibility of measurement bias, we conducted a set of analyses to ensure measurement equivalence, a precondition for appropriate and valid cross-cul…
The Association of Ambient Temperature and Violent Crime
2017
It is controversial if global warming will result into increased crime and conflict rate, and no causal neurobiological mechanisms have been proposed for the putative association between ambient temperature and aggressive behavior. This study shows that during 1996–2013, ambient temperature explained 10% of variance in the violent crime rate in Finland, corresponding to a 1.7% increase/degree centigrade. Ambient temperature also correlated with a one month delay in circannual changes in peripheral serotonin transporter density among both offenders and healthy control subjects, which itself correlated strongly with the monthly violent crime rate. This suggests that rise in temperature modula…
