Abstract

The speeches emitted from the written press, related with the causes of the common crime have been insufficiently approached by the Cuban historiography, and this affirmation becomes more evident in the local plane. In this sense, this article intended to value the structuring of the reflections on the etiology of the common crime in the city of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, in the decade of 1950. This period is characterized by the perception by the local middle class, of the influence of the social and cultural modernization processes in the behavior of the residents. The analysis allowed understanding that the reflections on the crime, spread by the plane press, inculpated to the "modern" lifestyles as causes that impact in the deformation of the families and the society, for what it considered that the education was the main form of diminishing the common crime.
