About the Author

Lombroso, Cesare portrait

Cesare Lombroso

Cesare Lombroso was an Italian criminologist, physician, and founder of the Italian school of criminology. He is best known for his work "The Man of Genius," where he explored the relationship between genius and criminality, proposing that certain physical traits could indicate a predisposition to criminal behavior. Lombroso's theories were influential in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as he sought to apply scientific methods to the study of crime and deviance. His seminal work, "L'uomo delinquente," examined the anthropological and psychological aspects of criminality, contributing significantly to the fields of criminology and forensic psychology.
