| Summary: | 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.

This article shows that Porfiristas criminology books go way beyond to a simple relation between social status and race ¾the theoretical foundations of French and Italian criminal anthropological schools¾ by three important books because of their theoretical and methodological considerations and contributions to the understanding of Mexican crime. |
