This fascinating book traces the evolution of the 'criminal body' by focusing on the work of Cesare Lombroso, an Italian physician and anthropologist, who is widely held to be the father of modern criminology. Building on Lombroso’s concept of the 'born criminal' and the idea that bodies could be used as evidence in criminal investigations, The Criminal Body offers an intriguing window into the origins of today’s criminological science.
