Synopsis
Excerpt from The English Convict: A Statistical Study
The founder of the Positive School, the creator, and most famous exponent of its doctrine, was the late Professor Cesare Lombroso: an Italian of genius, an indefatigable worker, and a man of strong personality, attracting to himself many disciples and co-workers from all countries of Europe. Lombroso''s distinctive merit lay, not in his scientific study of the criminal, but in his humanitarianism in the in?uence he exerted towards ameliorating the lot of the criminal. All thinking people to-day, legislators and judges, as well as the general public, the morality of the age, as well as the voice of science, attest the truth which Lombroso was the first to enunciate as the fundamental principle of criminology and penology the principle that it is the criminal and not the crime we should study and consider that it is the criminal and not the crime we ought to penalise. The father of criminal anthropology he has been called, with some appropriateness but, if the title survives, it will, in the future, be associated, not with Lombroso the anthropologist, but with Lombroso, enunciator of the humane truth that iniquity and righteousness depend upon what an individual is, and not upon what he does the prac tical corollary of this truth being that, in dealing justice to him, we must understand the criminal both as he is in himself, and as he becomes through the influence of environment.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Drawing from extensive research, this book revolutionizes our understanding of the criminal mind. The author challenges Lombroso's theory that criminals are born with identifiable physical and mental defects, resulting from flawed biological conditions. Instead, the author argues that this is a false premise. Rather, the author reveals that criminal behavior is the result of relative physical and mental weakness, combined with adverse social and economic influences. Through statistical analysis and historical context, the book delves into the complexities of criminality, shedding light on the interplay between individual characteristics and environmental factors. This captivating work challenges conventional wisdom and provides a new lens through which we can understand the nature of crime and its perpetrators. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
