Seite 16 - I believe that the experiences of utility organized and consolidated through all past generations of the human race, have been producing corresponding nervous modifications, which, by continued transmission and accumulation, have become in us certain faculties of moral intuition — certain emotions responding to right and wrong conduct, which have no apparent basis in the individual experiences of utility.
Seite 53 - ... our evidence conclusively shows that, on the average, the criminal of English prisons is markedly differentiated by defective physique — as measured by stature and body weight ; by defective mental capacity — as measured by general intelligence ; and by an increased possession of wilful anti-social proclivities* — as measured, apart from intelligence, by length of sentence to imprisonment.
Seite 21 - To put the formula in his own words: "... the element of immorality requisite before a harmful act can be regarded as criminal by public opinion, is the injury to so much of the moral sense as is represented by one or the other of the elementary altruistic sentiments of pity and probity. Moreover, the injury must wound these sentiments not in their superior and finer degrees, but in the average measure in which they are possessed by a community — a measure which is indispensable for the adaptation...
Seite 18 - From what has been said . . . , we may conclude that the element of immorality requisite before a harmful act can be regarded as criminal by public opinion, is the injury to so much of the moral sense as is represented by one or the other of the elementary altruistic sentiments of pity and probity. Moreover, the injury must wound these sentiments not in their superior and finer degrees, but in the average measure in which they are possessed by a community — a measure which is indispensable for...
Seite 10 - ... even those common to lower animals. That synthesis which mighty geniuses have often succeeded in creating by one inspiration (but at the risk of errors, for a genius is only human and in many cases more fallacious than his fellow-men) was deduced by me gradually from various sources — the study of the normal individual, the lunatic, the criminal, the savage and finally the child.
Seite 40 - Those who have followed us thus far have seen that many of the characteristics presented by savage races are very often found among born criminals. Such, for example, are: the slight development of the pilar system; low cranial capacity; retreating forehead; highly developed frontal sinuses; great frequency of Wormian bones; early closing of the cranial sutures; the simplicity of the sutures; the thickness of the bones of the skull; enormous development of the maxillaries and the zygomata; prognathism;...
Seite 41 - ... greater resemblance between the sexes; greater incorrigibility of the woman (Spencer) ; laziness ; absence of remorse ; impulsiveness ; physiopsychic excitability ; and especially improvidence, which sometimes appears as courage and again as recklessness changing to cowardice. Besides these there is great vanity ; a passion for gambling and alcoholic drinks ; violent but fleeting passions ; superstition ; extraordinary sensitiveness with regard to one's own personality ; and a special conception...
Seite 12 - ... Beccaria sought and obtained in practice a diminution of penalties and in theory the abstract study of crime considered as a juridical entity, the new school in turn seeks a double and fruitful aim. In practice, its proposed object is the diminution of crimes, which always increase rather than dimmish; and in theory, in order to secure this practical object it proposes the complete study of crime, not as a juridical abstraction, but as a human act, as a natural and social fact...
Seite 47 - ... and smell, the predilection for animals, precocity in sexual pleasures, amnesia, vertigo, and maniac and paranoiac complications. These abnormalities, which are found in greater proportion among idiots, cretins, and degenerates in general, are to be explained by the fact that in these cases alcoholic intoxication is added to the effect of atavism, and still more to that of epilepsy. However, the participation of epilepsy in producing the effect does not exclude atavism, since they equally involve...
Seite 10 - He found him to be a man of extraordinary agility who had been known to climb steep mountain heights with a sheep upon his shoulders. He discovered also in the brigand a cynical effrontery which led him to boast openly of his crimes. On the death of this brigand, Lombroso was designated to make the post mortem examination. On opening the skull he found, on the interior of the lower back part at a spot where usually a spine protrudes upward in the normal skull, a distinct depression which he named...
