Criminal Man, According to the Classification of Cesare Lombroso
Gina Lombroso-Ferrero wrote this summary of the theories of her father, the Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso, for English-speaking readers, and it was published in New York in 1911. The first part sets out his classification of offenders: the so-called born criminal, supposedly marked by physical anomalies, tattooing and moral insensibility, followed by epileptic and insane criminals, habitual criminals and criminals of passion. Later parts turn to the prevention of crime and the treatment of offenders. Lombroso's idea of a biological criminal type has long been rejected, but it shaped early criminology and debates about punishment, and this book is the clearest short statement of it in English. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
