La donna delinquente: la prostituta e la donna normale

by Cesare Lombroso, Guglielmo Ferrero

Das Buch ""Das Weib als Verbrecherin und Anthropologische Studien"" wurde 1894 von Cesare Lombroso ver������ffentlicht. In diesem Werk besch�����ftigt sich der Autor mit der Frage, warum Frauen in h������herem Ma�����e zu Verbrechen und Prostitution neigen als M�����nner. Dabei untersucht er anthropologische, biologische und psychologische Faktoren, die dazu f�����hren k������nnten. Lombroso argumentiert, dass Frauen aufgrund ihrer k������rperlichen und geistigen Merkmale anf�����lliger f�����r kriminelles Verhalten sind und dass sie aufgrund ihrer angeborenen Neigung zur S�����nde und zur Verf�����hrung dazu neigen, in die Prostitution abzurutschen. Das Buch war zu seiner Zeit umstritten, da es als sexistisch und diskriminierend gegen�����ber Frauen angesehen wurde. Heute wird es oft als Beispiel f�����r die Vorurteile und Fehlannahmen betrachtet, die in der fr�����hen Kriminologie und Anthropologie vorherrschten.This Book Is In German.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the author

Italian criminologist, physician, and founder of the Italian School of Positivist Criminology. Lombroso rejected the established Classical School, which held that crime was a characteristic trait of human nature.

Instead, using concepts drawn from physiognomy, early eugenics, psychiatry and Social Darwinism, Lombroso's theory of anthropological criminology essentially stated that criminality was inherited, and that someone "born criminal" could be identified by physical defects, which confirmed a criminal as savage, or atavistic.

Reviews

not rating this. instead going to highlight these two baddies:

“I have seen a woman of eighty years who masturbated with a brass crucifix. Another old woman filled her vulva with knives…“

[Eugene · Rating 1 out of 5]

Outdated trash was almost laughable because of the stupid statements it was making. The fact that it was written 120 years ago should not be an excuse for this abortion.

[Lucy · Rating 5 out of 5]

quite honestly the worst thing I've ever read. utterly obsessed.

some fave lines:

Watching people on a public walkway, I noted that out of 560 women, 9 were of a completely degenerative type.

Primitive woman was rarely a murderer; but she was always a prostitute.

Everyone knows that the sight of suffering makes us men suffer pangs of sympathy; and we cannot help sufferers if we, too, have spasms of pain.

In brothels, women hold competitions, betting on who has the most beautiful sexual organs; naturally this ends up in lesbianism.

I read the whole book, and although I disagree with almost everything that he says, I have truly enjoyed my reading and I believe this is a very interesting book.

Nonostante sia del 1893 e, di conseguenza decisamente datato sotto ogni punto di vista e assolutamente sessista (Lombroso non aveva nemmeno un buon rapporto con le donne, anzi) credo sia decisamente interessante da leggere, visto che è stato scritto dal padre della criminologia ed è il primo a parlare di donne delinquenti.

a must to read - 5 stars

Horrible trash/ anti-feminism

[Volodymyr Hnatiuk · Rating 4 out of 5]

Можливо, на XIX ст. ідеї були прогресивними, або новаторськими, але мені не вистачило отієї витонченості в аргументації, яка є у Вейнінгера, який будучи євреєм вмів з винятковою огидою паплюжити євреїв та людину. Але, тим не менш, книга не найгірша. Слабка 4, або міцна 3. Поставив першу оцінку все-таки. Бо книга розважила.

How did anyone even come up with this? There are absolutely no scientifically proven facts. It looks like something that should never have seen the light of day.

[Elena Ratoi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Despite the fact I don't agree with most of the ideas, in general the book is recommended for reading to see what kind of attitude the author had towards women (a pretty denigrating one).
