The Positive School of Criminology by Enrico Ferri is a classic work in the field of criminology. The book explores the idea that crime is a product of social, economic, and environmental factors, and that it can be prevented and reduced through scientific methods. Ferri argues that criminals are not born, but made, and that society has a responsibility to address the underlying causes of crime. He also examines the role of punishment in the criminal justice system and advocates for a more rehabilitative approach to dealing with offenders. The Positive School of Criminology is a seminal work that continues to influence the study of crime and justice today.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
