CESARE LOMBROSO IS MY HERO . This goes to all lovers of criminal anthropology , criminals and wannabe criminals. In his book , The Delinquent man Italian leading criminalogist Cesare Lombroso argues that criminals could be identified by certain physical deformities :Jugged ears ,low foreheads , long arms and so on. He termed these physical signs Criminal stigmata. What they demonstrated according to Lombroso was that crooks were actually biological anachronisms, accidental throwbacks to an earlier stage in human development. That is why they looked primitive non-european peoples and even animals. Non europeans were , Lombroso confidently assumed , stationed at a lower rung on the ladder of racial development and was therefore inherently criminal. Pushing his demented logic through to breaking point , according to Lombroso all animals were criminal too.
