Criminal Sociology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419114502)

Criminal Sociology is a book written by Enrico Ferri, an Italian criminologist, in 1896. The book is a study of crime and its causes, with a focus on the social and economic factors that contribute to criminal behavior. Ferri argues that crime is not simply a result of individual moral failings, but rather a product of larger social and economic forces. He explores the relationship between poverty, inequality, and crime, and argues that addressing these underlying issues is key to reducing crime rates. The book also delves into the psychology of criminals, examining the different types of criminals and the motivations behind their behavior. Ferri's work was influential in the development of modern criminology, and his ideas continue to be studied and debated today.From the consideration that human actions, whether honest or dishonest, social or anti-social, are always the outcome of a man's physio-psychical organism, and of the physical and social atmosphere which surrounds him, I have drawn attention to the anthropological or individual factors of crime, the physical factors, and the social factors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
