Description
The Positive School of Criminology, authored by the Italian criminologist Enrico Ferri, emerges as a seminal text in the study of criminal behavior. Published in the early 20th century, the book presents Ferri’s arguments against the prevailing theories of crime that focused mainly on free will and moral failing. Instead, Ferri advocates for a scientific approach to understanding crime, emphasizing the influence of biological, social, and environmental factors.Ferri explores the role of sociological elements, such as poverty and education, in shaping criminal behavior, effectively laying the groundwork for future criminological theories that incorporate social context. His analysis is marked by a commitment to empirical evidence, positioning criminology as a social science. The text serves both as a critique of earlier methodologies and as a call for reform in how society perceives and addresses crime, making it a vital read for students and practitioners in the field of criminology.
