Criminal man - according to the classification of Cesare Lombroso by Gina Lombroso audiobook.
Genre: science
In this influential work of early criminology, Gina Lombroso presents and organizes Cesare Lombroso's provocative attempt to explain crime through classification. Drawing on medical observation, anthropology, and statistics, the book argues that criminal behavior is not a single phenomenon but a spectrum of distinct types, from the so-called born criminal and the habitual offender to the criminal by passion and the mentally ill delinquent. Lombroso's method is concrete and case-driven: he compares bodies, faces, and habits; catalogs physical and psychological 'stigmata'; and links crime to heredity, epilepsy, insanity, alcoholism, and social environment. Along the way, the reader is taken into courtrooms, prisons, and asylums through examples meant to show how different offenders think, act, and relapse. Whether approached as a serious scientific proposal, a historical artifact, or a cautionary tale about bias in measurement, the book raises enduring questions about free will, responsibility, and prevention: if crime has causes that can be studied, can society replace pure punishment with diagnosis, treatment, and reform?
