Donne violente e donne criminali a Napoli nelle fonti di polizia giudiziaria (1888-94)

Violent and criminal women in Naples according to the sources of forensic police (1888-1894)
The research proposes to present a perspective of daily violence by women in Naples at the end of the 19th century, traceable from the complete study of the forensic police documents from 1888 until 1894. The detailed archives outline lifestyle and speech patterns which progress from trivial violence through to murderer, correlating with the structured violence of camorra groups. As a result women are part of two worlds, the violent one and the criminal one. In the latter they adopt specific roles, which have not been studied yet.
