Prejudices and stereotypes are as ancient as mankind. Why do we
think we can deduce someone's characteristics by their appearance?
This book is based on the contested theory of Italian doctor
Lombroso on the heredity of criminality. Lombroso stated that
criminal behaviour is a part of human nature. He wanted to prove
some forms of criminality are hereditary. Facial features, corporal
constitution...as a basis to stigmatise people. But how do we deal
with appearance these days, in a multicultural society? Do we still
presume 'other' features are 'suspicious'? Is there such a thing as
a 'born criminal'? This book also pays attention to phenomena such
as physical anthropology, craniometry and phrenology.
