- Nilson’s study focusses on crimes committed by sailors in Gothenburg in 1920. Using Randall Collin’s sociological theory on violence and place, he describes what kind of offences sailors were guilty of, and where they took place. Drunkenness and violence were the most common misdemeanours among seafarers. Nilson divides violence into different categories, where ritual and performative uses were most common. The street and the tavern were the violent ‘hot spots’ where sailors fought each other or the police. The ‘places of conflict’ that Collins sees as a condition for violence coincided with the geographical layout of Gothenburg’s sailortown, meaning that sailor violence was to a great extent caused by certain environmental and cultural milieus. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016.
