ARELLANO NAVARRETE, Yussel. Different Approaches to the Study of Mexican Criminals at the End of the Porfiriato. Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.58-1, pp.176-189. Epub 06-Fev-2023. ISSN 2395-8669. https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2020.3.9.
The Porfiriato motto, “Order and Progress”, settled the way in which good men, along with science, would allow Mexico to leave behind a troubled past that kept it underdeveloped, in comparison with other nations. Due to a considerable increase of crimes affecting private security and society’s welfare, some intellectuals set themselves to the task of knowing the causes of crime in Mexico, according to Mexicans biological and social characteristics. This article shows that Porfiristas criminology books go way beyond to a simple relation between social status and race, the theoretical foundations of French and Italian criminal anthropological schools - by three important books because of their theoretical and methodological considerations and contributions to the understanding of Mexican crime.
