In-4°; pp.(4), 255, (1), con quattro illustrazioni, di cui una applicata a p. 65. Legatura coeva in mezza pelle con angoli. Edizione originale dell’opera di Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909) considerata fondamentale per la nascita dell’antropologia criminale. Lombroso fu un convinto seguace del positivismo francese, che applicò ai suoi studi di medicina sociale; riallacciandosi a tesi già percorse relative alla criminalità innata e biologicamente condizionata, Lombroso si spinge nell’Uomo delinquente a sostenere che i comportamenti criminosi possono essere determinati da predisposizioni di natura fisiologica, che si manifestano in particolari conformazioni anatomiche del cranio. Pesa sugli studi lombrosiani un forte assoluto determinismo. PMM 364. Govi 317.
