LEON IGLESIAS, Juana Marta. Common Crime in Revolution Period: Government Ideology about Crime in Pinar del Rio, Cuba (1952-1958). Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.11, pp.275-307. ISSN 2145-132X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v6n11.41923.

ABSTRACT The strategies that school and press gears for common crime are, like the essence of the criminal phenomenon, one of the topics that Pinar del Rio regional historiography has not dealt with this far. However, common crime and the ways it has been confronted by social control, create inevitable bonds with all the aspects of social life. This sentence acquires meaning during the 1952-1958 periods, in the heat of the battles against Fulgencio Batista dictatorship. This text seeks to analyse how hegemonic groups established an ideology that, from media practices and taking as a base ideas such as morality, social progress and national agreement, criminalized some determined groups, individual, and behaviour, with the purpose to increase fear to crime and insecurity as a mechanism to justify, as much as possible, police and government repression.
