Criminal Man, According to the Classification of Cesare Lombroso

Excerpt from Criminal Man, According to the Classification of Cesare LombrosoIt will, perhaps, be of interest to American readers of this book, in which the ideas of the Modern Penal School, set forth in my work. Criminal Man, have been so pithily summed up by my daughter, to learn how the first outlines of this science arose in my mind and gradually took shape in a definite work - how, that is, combated by some, the object of almost fanatical adherence on the part of others, especially in America, where tradition has little hold, the Modern Penal School came into being.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
