Epistemological turn • Aristotelic views of things as data • Stigma as normative views of negative connotations • Dialectic views of social things producing effects on data and being changed by normative thinking and doing

Scapegoat system and power Power Normative world Data Social nature Social nets person

Pre-history of crimmigration • • • Crime&peasant Crime&sailor men Crime&indigena Crime&milicia Crime&nomade • Scapegoats politics

Positive definition of spirit • Each social configuration builds up its own criminalization spirit • Social spirit must be understood not as a metaphysic entity • Spirit of the time (in criminal grounds) is a holistic result of the dialectic relationship between people (social things) the normative world (legal framework in motion) and classification models (data)

Positive spirit of the time • It is a result of socialization actuality, as well as a coercive mode of doing people, power and social nets • Spirit of norms does not exist as letters in a book; it results from the use living people develop in society in order to produce social legitimate views of/actions for social good;

Profiling immigrants • Crimmigration spirit tell us that immigrants are being used as scapegoats to structural risks western world are living • Freedom of global circulation of capital and workers is coerced by working class control as crimmigration
