| Итог: | This article analyses the methodological problems inherent in reconstructing criminal statistics over time and presents findings in relation to crime trends in Minas Gerais (Brazil) between 1830 and 1929. The first part of the article presents an overview of current work on the reconstruction of crime trends in Brazil and its relevance to the social history of violence and crime. In the following two sections, the problems and methodological solutions that made it possible to analyse a database built from crime registers are discussed. Census data is used to calculate trends over time. Finally, several hypotheses about the analysis of the data are put forward. |
