Summary "L'uomo delinquente" by Cesare Lombroso is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the intersection of crime, anthropology, jurisprudence, and psychiatry, exploring the causes and potential remedies for criminal behavior. Lombroso argues against the prevailing views—that criminals are irrevocably destined for crime—by examining various contributing factors, including environmental and social influences. The opening of the text establishes Lombroso's aim to address critiques of his previous work by clearly outlining the multi-faceted roots of crime. He begins by discussing the influence of environmental factors, such as excessive heat, on human behavior and crime rates. Using historical and statistical data, he notes how meteorological conditions might contribute to acts of violence and rebellion, emphasizing that these acts are not solely determined by individual morality but rather by a complex interplay of situational stimuli. Lombroso's approach suggests that understanding these influences is crucial for developing effective prevention and intervention strategies in dealing with criminality.
