Il tipo criminale.
Una critica al «delinquente-nato» di Cesare Lombroso
Tarde Gabriel
Published in 1885, "The criminal type" is a lucid critique of the theory of Cesare Lombroso delinquentenato. Essential not only crossing point for criminological studies, the text seems to preserve Tarde also its extraordinary setting for modern epistemological and political influences that gives us: what is the role of science in front of the crime problem? What are the methods by which confronts him? What are its effects on public policy? The process of criminalization of foreigners in our global society, for example, seems to revive, in some ways, the question of "criminal type" the center of the Italian-French sociological debate of late nineteenth century. For his empirical studies and theory that it drew, Lombroso is still considered the precursor of neuroscientific research on crime. The thread that binds the positivism Lombroso to neuroscience, in fact, is the ability to "look inside the brain," the assumption that there is a difference "biological" between the criminal and not criminal. In this work, countering the criminal-born professional or business of the criminal Tarde not only critical of the positivist school Lombrosian method, but it also sets the foundation for a theory of "social" crime.
