Crime: Its Causes and Remedies – Early Criminology Explained by Cesare Lombroso | Audiobook Part 1
Published 1 month ago
Description
⭐ Catholic / Scholarly Star-Rated Review ★★★★☆ (4/5 – Foundational but Historically Dated) Crime, Its Causes and Remedies by Cesare Lombroso is a landmark work in the history of criminology and social science. Lombroso attempts to explain criminal behavior through biology, psychology, environment, and social conditions, pioneering what would become modern criminal anthropology. While many of Lombroso’s biological theories have been revised or rejected by contemporary science, this audiobook remains invaluable for understanding how modern criminology developed. Listeners will encounter early discussions on rehabilitation, punishment, poverty, education, and societal responsibility—ideas that influenced penology, sociology, and criminal law for generations. Best approached as a historical and analytical work, this audiobook is ideal for students, researchers, and intellectually curious listeners interested in the roots of criminal psychology.
