The Positive School Of Criminology - Enrico Ferri - Bog

The Positive School of Criminology is a book written by Enrico Ferri that explores the concept of crime and its causes from a scientific perspective. The book is a seminal work in the field of criminology and was first published in 1894. Ferri's approach to criminology is based on the idea that crime is not a result of individual moral failings, but rather a social phenomenon that is influenced by a range of factors such as poverty, social inequality, and environmental conditions. He argues that the study of crime should be approached scientifically, using empirical evidence and statistical analysis to understand the causes of criminal behavior.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of criminology and the different schools of thought that have emerged over time. The second part focuses on the positive school of criminology, which emphasizes the importance of scientific analysis in understanding crime. Ferri discusses the various factors that contribute to criminal behavior, including biological, psychological, and social factors.The third part of the book examines the practical implications of the positive school of criminology. Ferri argues that the criminal justice system should be reformed to take into account the scientific understanding of crime. He suggests that punishment should be based on the individual circumstances of the offender and that rehabilitation should be the primary goal of the criminal justice system.Overall, The Positive School of Criminology is a groundbreaking work in the field of criminology that challenges traditional views of crime and offers a new, scientific approach to understanding criminal behavior.In these two tendencies you have a photographic reproduction of the two schools of criminology. The classic school, which looks upon the crime as a juridical problem, occupies itself with its name, its definition, its juridical analysis, leaves the personality of the criminal in the background and remembers it only so far as exceptional circumstances explicitly stated in the law books refer to it: whether he is a minor, a deaf-mute, whether it is a case of insanity, whether he was drunk at the time the crime was committed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
