Originally published in 1922, Juvenile Delinquency was written while the author was Director of the Ohio Bureau of Juvenile Research. He believed that juvenile delinquency could be prevented and therefore a large part of adult criminality could be eradicated.

This book is a pioneering work on the subject of eugenics and feeble-mindedness. Goddard, a prominent psychologist and eugenicist, argues that feeble-mindedness is hereditary and that measures should be taken to prevent the propagation of genes associated with mental deficiency.

First published in 1912, this infamous study helped establish Henry Herbert Goddard as a leading figure in the eugenics movement, which sought to advance the human race through selective breeding. By contrasting two branches of the pseudononymous "Kallikak Family," Goddard argued for the existence of a hereditary trait, broadly-defined as "feeble-mindedness," which contributes to crime, poverty, and other social problems. Informed by eugenics research, the United States forcibly sterilized over 65,000 individuals between 1907 and 1981, and passed the Immigration Act of 1924, which turned away members of "undesirable" racial groups. Goddard's research has since been thoroughly debunked for its sloppy methodology, whereby upper-class fieldworkers were trained to assess feeble-mindedness at-a-glance. The Kallikak Family is widely cited as one of the central texts of the eugenics movement, and as an exemplar of politically-motivated pseudoscience.

""The Criminal Imbecile: An Analysis Of Three Remarkable Murder Cases"" is a book written by Henry Herbert Goddard in 1915. The book is an in-depth analysis of three murder cases that were committed by individuals who were deemed to be ""imbeciles"" by the courts. Goddard, who was a prominent psychologist and expert in the field of intelligence testing, uses these cases to explore the concept of criminal imbecility and its implications for the justice system.The first case discussed in the book is that of William Heirens, who was convicted of three murders in Chicago in 1946. Heirens was diagnosed with ""mental deficiency"" and was deemed to be an imbecile by the court. The second case is that of Albert Fish, who was convicted of the murder of a young girl in New York in 1935. Fish was also diagnosed with mental deficiency and was deemed to be an imbecile by the court. The third case is that of Harry Thaw, who was convicted of the murder of Stanford White in 1906. Thaw was not diagnosed with mental deficiency, but Goddard argues that his behavior and actions suggest that he was an imbecile.Throughout the book, Goddard explores the concept of criminal imbecility and its implications for the justice system. He argues that imbeciles should be treated differently than other criminals, as they are not capable of understanding the consequences of their actions. He also discusses the role of intelligence testing in identifying imbeciles and the challenges of accurately diagnosing mental deficiency.Overall, ""The Criminal Imbecile"" is a thought-provoking analysis of the intersection of psychology and criminal justice. It provides a unique perspective on the concept of criminal imbecility and its impact on the justice system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
