| Summary | "Criminal Man, According to the Classification of Cesare Lombroso" by Gina Lombroso-Ferrero is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work summarizes the theories of Cesare Lombroso, who is known for his controversial views on criminality being rooted in physical and psychological traits. The book examines the characteristics of different types of criminals, emphasizing the idea that some individuals might be "born criminals," shaped by both hereditary and environmental factors. At the start of this work, the introduction offers insights into Cesare Lombroso's journey in establishing a scientific approach to understanding criminal behavior, contrasting it with traditional punitive systems. Lombroso's observations on the physical anomalies observed in criminals, such as skull deformities and other characteristic traits, are presented as evidence supporting his hypothesis of atavism—that certain criminals are evolutionary throwbacks to earlier states of human development. Through detailed observations and case studies, the opening lays the groundwork for a more in-depth exploration of criminal anthropology, setting up the themes and scientific inquiries that will be extensively examined throughout the book.
