Anonim a dat nota:
Desi e scrisa la 1911 clasificarea facuta de Cesare Lombroso aduce pentru prima data in discutie psihopatia si influenta geneticului asupra capacitatii unui individ catre a-si manifesta agresivitatea. Superba lectura!

Textul de pe ultima copertă
"Cesare Lombroso's "Criminal Man" has long been a classic of criminology. Mary Gibson and Nicole Hahn Rafter, in offering this finely annotated translation and showing the progression of Lombroso's thought through five editions of the book, have made a great contribution to a broader understanding of this towering, yet often misrepresented, figure and his classic text. With its lucid introduction by Gibson and Rafter, and many original illustrations, this book will be a precious resource for the history of criminology and for European intellectual and social history more generally."--David I. Kertzer, author of "Prisoner of the Vatican: The Popes' Secret Plot to Capture Rome from the New Italian State"
