Description
Criminal Man, authored by Gina Lombroso, is a pivotal work exploring the intersection of psychology, biology, and criminology in understanding criminal behavior. The book is rooted in the controversial theories of Cesare Lombroso, Gina’s father, who posited that criminals could be identified by physical characteristics, suggesting innate biological determinants of crime. Through a meticulous analysis of various criminal types, Gina expands on her father's classifications, introducing nuanced discussions about the social and environmental factors influencing criminality. The narrative delves into Lombroso's typology, encompassing the born criminal, the occasional criminal, and the criminal by passion, making it a seminal text in both criminology and sociology. While historically significant, the book invites critical reflection, particularly regarding the ethical implications of determinism in understanding crime. Ultimately, Criminal Man serves as both a foundational text in criminology and a catalyst for ongoing debate about the nature of crime and free will.
