Enrique,

Richard Wilkinson has written extensively about the connections between violence (of which violent crime is a major indice), social inequalities, and health.

Here are some cites (besides the Spirit Level, I mean):

Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, Income Inequality and Social Dysfunction, 35 ANN. REV. SOCIOLOGY 493 (2009).  
Richard Wilkinson, Why is Violence More Common Where Inequality is Greater, 1036(1) ANN. N.Y.A.S. 1 (2004).
Richard Wilkinson, THE IMPACT OF INEQUALITY: HOW TO MAKE SICK SOCIETIES HEALTHIER 145-168 (New Press) (2005).

Colleagues:

Is there any good information on dealing with crime from a public health perspective (prevention) that also ties in Social Determinants? I'm not even sure where to start looking.
