Original Title: It wasn't the poor committing the crime in Renaissance Venice, but the rich noblemen, according to historian Guido Ruggiero. They were 4% of the population, but committed nearly a quarter of all assaults! Did nobles commit a disproportionate amount of crime elsewhere in Europe?

And why were the nobles such troublemakers?

Or were the poor fighting just as much, but did so away from the eyes of the law?

Claim from "Violence in early Renaissance Venice."
