Crimini e comportamenti devianti, in relazione all'illuminazione pubblica, è il tema portante del libro, il cui obiettivo è quello di analizzare le eventuali relazioni esistenti tra fenomenologie criminali e le misure di prevenzione attuate per mezzo delle condizioni di illuminazione nelle aree urbanizzate. Dopo un primo sommario inquadramento sociologico, riguardante le strategie e le tecniche di prevenzione al crimine, si analizza il contributo e l'efficacia della variabile luce per il decremento dei reati e l'incremento della percezione della sicurezza, fornendo anche esempi di corretta illuminazione urbana. Inoltre, sono enucleate le dispute metodologiche intorno al tema in esame e approfonditi i fattori secondari e antropici derivanti dall'incremento di luce nelle aree urbane e suburbane; per concludere con le evidenze scientifiche riguardanti il rapporto tra i crimini e illuminazione artificiale in vari contesti geografici e secondo le diverse tipologie di reati commessi.

Un percorso di esegesi scientifico e approfondito, ma tuttavia ben comprensibile per ogni tipo di lettore sul tema del silenzio di Dio. Per l'Antico Testamento l'analisi ha affrontato la crisi del profeta Elia sul monte Oreb, dove Dio gli si presenta come «voce di silenzio che si frantuma» (1Re 19); la crisi nel Salmo 88, l'unico salmo in cui l'orante, alla fine, non trova alcuna risposta da Dio; infine la crisi del Servo sofferente, chiamato ad offrire la sua vita, la sua sofferenza e la sua morte (Is 53). Per il Nuovo Testamento è stata presa in esame la morte in croce di Gesù nel secondo vangelo: Gesù, che prova paura e angoscia, rimane comunque fedele a Dio, il quale, per amore e rispetto dell'uomo, non interviene, accettando persino la morte del Figlio amato.
