Inventing the Criminal: A History of German Criminology, 1880-1945 Hardcover - 2000
by Richard F. Wetzell
First line
German criminology emerged as a recognized scientific field in the last quarter of the nineteenth century as a result of three interconnected developments: the emergence of a new German penal reform movement, the publication and reception of Cesare Lombroso's theory of the "born criminal," and an increasing interest in criminological questions among German psychiatrists.
From the jacket flap
The first history of German criminology from Imperial Germany through the Third Reich. Exploring the interaction between law, social science, and medicine, Richard Wetzell reveals a constant tension between the criminologists' hereditarian biases and an increasing methodological sophistication that prevented many of them from endorsing the crude genetic determinism and racism of Hitler's regime.
