SUAREZ ARAMENDIX, Miguel Antonio; MONSALVO MENDOZA, Edwin Andrés  e  MARTINEZ BOTERO, Sebastián. Progress and Crime: Mechanisms of Social Control in Manizales (Colombia), c. 1910-1940. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.12, pp.334-373. ISSN 2145-132X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v6n12.42143.

This paper describes the manner in which the elites of Manizales assumed the social problem of crime as a phenomenon linked to population growth, the "relaxation of customs" and lack of control over youth. Such speech had its counterpart in the deployment by the authorities, of coercive practices such as prison and the Casa de Menores Infractores (Young Offenders House). Through analysis of the periodical press, the Statistical Yearbook of Manizales and some scientific publications and informative that circulated during the time of study, we show the relationship between progressive speeches, the increase in crime and the rise of measures control over prostitution, smoking, alcohol consumption and the notion of "bad life".
