Understanding the roots of criminal behavior through scientific study

This non-fiction work summarizes the ideas behind the modern approach to crime and the criminal. It presents how to study criminals as individuals, not just as offenders. In clear, accessible language, the book outlines the origins, methods, and aims of the modern penal school. It traces how anatomy, psychology, and careful observation were used to classify criminals and examine their physical and mental traits.

How the study of the criminal differs from studying crime itself, with a focus on the person behind the act
The idea of atavism and how certain traits were linked to criminal potential
The use of tools like the esthesiometer and craniometer in early research
Illustrative case material and historical context to explain foundational concepts

Ideal for readers interested in the history of criminology, legal medicine, and the science behind early criminal anthropology.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Professor Lombroso was able before his death to give his personal attention to the volume prepared by his daughter and collaborator, Gina Lombroso Ferrero (wife of the distinguished historian), in which is presented a summary of the conclusions reached in the great treatise by Lombroso on the causes of criminality and the treatment of criminals. The preparation of the introduction to this volume was the last literary work which the distinguished author found it possible to complete during his finnl illness.] IT will, perhaps, be of interest to American readers of this book, in which the ideas of theM odern Penal School, set forth in my work. Criminal Man, have been so pithily summed up by my daughter, to learn how the first outlines of this science arose in my mind and gradually took shape in a definite work- how, that is, combated by some, the object of almost fanatical adherence on the part of others, especially in A merica, where tradition has little hold, theM odern Penal School came into being.

�valuation du vendeur 5 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing realm of criminology, offering a groundbreaking perspective on understanding criminals. Departing from traditional legal doctrines that focus solely on the crime itself, the author pioneers a new approachâ� �criminal anthropology. This emerging science aims to study the physical, mental, and social characteristics of criminals, comparing them to both normal individuals and the insane. The author's research challenges established notions by suggesting that criminal tendencies may be rooted in biological and psychological anomalies, often exhibiting atavistic traits reminiscent of earlier evolutionary stages. Through meticulous observations and analysis of physical features, sensory functions, and psychological behaviours, the author constructs a compelling argument for the existence of a distinct criminal type. This book delves into fascinating details, exploring the prevalence of specific physical characteristics among criminals, such as facial asymmetry, unusual skull formations, and variations in sensory perception. The author also examines the psychological landscape of criminals, highlighting their often-deficient moral sense, lack of remorse, and propensity for impulsiveness and vanity. By presenting these findings, the book sheds light on the complex interplay of nature and nurture in shaping criminal behaviour. Ultimately, this book's insights into the criminal mind hold profound implications for the present day justice system, advocating for a shift from punitive measures to a more comprehensive approach that encompasses prevention, rehabilitation, and a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to criminal behaviour. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
