About this book
In the early 20th century, as Europe grappled with the complexities of crime and justice, Enrico Ferri delivered transformative lectures at the University of Naples, laying the groundwork for the Positive School of Criminology. In "The Positive School of Criminology: Three Lectures Given at the University of Naples, Italy on April 22, 23 and 24, 1901," Ferri challenges traditional views by advocating for a scientific approach to understanding criminal behavior, focusing on social factors and the environment. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this document explores concepts such as determinism and the role of societal influences in shaping criminality, offering valuable insights into the evolution of criminological thought. Discover how Ferri's pioneering ideas continue to resonate in contemporary discussions on crime and justice.
