Description
Italian psychiatrist and criminal anthropologist Lombroso (d. 1909) is widely acknowledged as the founder of scientific criminology, but his reputation has suffered both because methods and especially standards of precision have outstripped his original work, and also because only readers of Italian had more than fragmentary and often anecdotal access to his ideas. To help alleviate the second problem, 28 of his articles published in English between 1890 and 1929 are presented, along with bibliographic appendices of books and periodical literature pertaining to him and to criminal anthropology. Among the article topics are the physiognomy of the anarchists, atavism and evolution, games among criminals and savages, insane characters in fiction and the drama, and left-handedness and left-sidedness. The text is double spaced. There is no index. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
