Criminal Sociology

""Criminal Sociology"" is a book written by Enrico Ferri, an Italian criminologist, lawyer, and sociologist. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the causes and effects of criminal behavior in society. Ferri's approach to criminal sociology is based on the principles of positivism, which emphasizes the use of scientific methods to study human behavior.Ferri argues that criminal behavior is not solely the result of individual choice or free will, but rather a product of social, economic, and environmental factors. He explores the various social and economic conditions that contribute to criminal behavior, such as poverty, inequality, and lack of access to education and employment opportunities.The book also delves into the psychological and biological factors that may influence criminal behavior, including genetics, mental illness, and addiction. Ferri examines the role of the criminal justice system in responding to criminal behavior and offers suggestions for improving the effectiveness of law enforcement and rehabilitation programs.Overall, ""Criminal Sociology"" provides a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complex nature of criminal behavior in society. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in criminology, sociology, or criminal justice.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.
