The Criminal by Havelock Ellis
"The Criminal" by Havelock Ellis is a book published in 1890. This groundbreaking work introduces criminal anthropology to British readers, exploring whether criminals are born with physical abnormalities that predict their behavior. Drawing heavily on Cesare Lombroso's controversial theories, Ellis examines skull shapes, facial features, moral sensibility, and hereditary traits to understand criminal nature. The book addresses fundamental questions about punishment and whether criminality stems from physical destiny or personal choice, challenging
Victorian assumptions about crime and justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
