Tiene como objetivo conocer en perspectiva histórica delitos económicos y fraudes con la intención de enriquecer la historiografía sobre la criminalidad. Para ello ocupa diferentes fuentes, entre las que destacan expedientes judiciales, informes policiales y prensa periódica. Entre sus aportaciones, muestra manifestaciones tempranas de crimen organizado que se especializó en estafar compañías de seguros. Asimismo, describe expresiones delictivas que se alejaron de los estereotipos y estigmas en contra de actores sociales pobres y marginados.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: This article recounts a series of frauds committed against Mexico&#8217;s main life insurance companies in the early years of the 20th Century. It has the goal of understanding economic crime and fraud in historical perspective, with the objective of enriching the historiography on criminality. It uses a variety of sources, including court documents, police reports and newspaper articles. Among its contributions, it reveals early manifestations of organized crime that specialized in defrauding insurance companies, as well as criminal behavior that was far removed from the stereotypes and stigmas of poor, marginalized social actors.]]></p></abstract>
