Then there are ideological interests that like many ideologies what
they protect is the investment in creating the ideology. For instance,
the mexican idea of `crimes against health`.

Health... whose health? Society`s? How do you define the health of a
society, in a country that has so poor health services? In a
population that exhibits so many patologies? How do they measure the
health of society? If they are so worried about society`s health, why
they don`t ban tobacco? Or for the matter, why they don`t control
governmental vehicle`s emissions? In a society were drugs are
tolerated? Is it really a crime if one person hurts his/her own health
knowingly? A crime against society? Durkheim treats society an object
of study, a given, objective, but only for the sake of scientific
inquiry. Speaking of the health of society is pesonification, if it is
meant as an objective variable, a figure of speech, unless it is meant
to signify the proportion of healthy or unhealthy individuals. Using
society as an objective `thing` for something else than methodological
research is abusing the cont, beacuse in the end society is a concept,
a aggregate of people.

This ideology is dangerous in that it gives a justification to cause
side effects to other people, just to show that something happens...
even if it doesn`t.
