Crime, Its Causes and Remedies: Volume 3 Of Modern Criminal Science Series

Crime: Its Causes And Remedies is a book written by Cesare Lombroso, an Italian criminologist and physician, first published in 1899. The book explores the origins and causes of criminal behavior, drawing on Lombroso's theories of criminal anthropology. Lombroso believed that criminal behavior was inherited and that certain physical characteristics, such as the shape of the skull or the length of the arms, could be used to identify potential criminals. The book also examines the social and environmental factors that contribute to criminal behavior, including poverty, lack of education, and societal norms. Lombroso argues that these factors can exacerbate an individual's innate criminal tendencies. In addition to exploring the causes of crime, the book also offers potential remedies for reducing criminal behavior. Lombroso advocates for a more humane approach to criminal justice, including the use of education, rehabilitation, and prevention programs. Overall, Crime: Its Causes And Remedies is a seminal work in the field of criminology and provides insight into the historical development of theories of criminal behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
