Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Efficient Causes of Crime Crime, then, is more than a mere accompaniment of de fective mind. It is the natural outgrowth of faulty mental processes. This doubtless accounts for the fact that punish ment can not cure the criminal, nor even deter others from committing crimes. It is foolish to insist that punishment deters the criminal even from repeating his crimes. Surely there is no fact more clearly proven to the criminologist than this one. Institutions of punishment only serve to augment the anti-social attitude of the criminal and to return him to society even determined to perpetrate more daring crimes than he had known before. Statistics from investigators the world over call our attention to the fact that crime among us is increasing at a very rapid rate. Treatment, not punish ment, is what is needed, intelligent, sympathetic and scientific treatment under the best conditions and by the best advised scientists that can be secured for the work. This is not a call for the introduction of sentimentality; there are indications in many quarters that we have too much of the maudlin already. Warden Francis insists that the great est menace to our progress in institution affairs today is the long-haired man and the short-haired woman, and he is right. Instead of indulging in expressions of sentimental regard for the unfortunate offenders, society should rather give herself to the most careful investigation of those tolerated and even encouraged practices which everywhere are shown to be those agencies that contribute to the perpetuity and to the multiplication of the criminal class.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crime: Its Cause and Treatment The physical origin of such abnormalities of the mind as are called crimina is a comparatively new idea. The Whole subject has long been dealt with from the standpoint of metaphysics. Man has slowly banished chance from the material world and left behavior alone outside the realm of cause and effect. It has not been long since insanity was treated as a moral defect. It is now universally accepted as a functional defect of the human structure in its relation to environment. My main effort is to show that the laws that control human behavior are as fixed and certain as those that control the physical world. In fact, that the manifestations of the mind and the actions of men are a part of the physical world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Crime Its Causes and Remedies Classic Reprint written by Cesare Lombroso and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime, Its Causes and Remedies is a work of criminology by author and Professor of Criminal Anthropology, Cesare Lombroso. Lombroso was a professor at the Italian University of Turin, and thus all of his works were written in Italian. This book, translated by Henry P. Horton, was not released in English until after Lombroso's death. It was selected by the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology for translation and deemed vitally important in the understanding of crime and criminals. Part one examines the factors that contribute to crime, paying more attention to the individual than to environmental factors. Part two looks at ways in which crime can be reduced and avoided, highlighting both effective and ineffective measures that have been used. Part three applies the lessons of the first two parts to propose a detailed system for dealing with crime and criminals, from the penalties that criminals should face to the appropriate institutions they should be held in. If nothing else, Crime, Its Causes and Remedies is a case study on how far a field of science can progress in 100 years. Much of the content of this book is hopelessly out of date and many of the theories forwarded in this book would be highly controversial if presented today, including equating epileptics and criminals, and the heavy reliance on racial profiling. This book is valuable mostly for the historical insights it provides into criminology and moral attitudes rather than as a source of textbook knowledge about the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crime Its Causes and Remedy I. In the course of an address on "Punishment and Reformation," delivered at the London meeting of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, in 1862, Sir Thomas Chambers, then Common Sergeant of London, gave utterance to the following thoughtful remarks: "Reasoners and moralists may dispute, yet philanthropists need not delay to act, and the problems insoluble by argument may be settled conclusively by practice. It may be (I rather incline to that opinion) that the State has nothing to do with the individual except in his bearing on the welfare of society, that any interference with him on other than public grounds is objectionable, and that this doctrine is applicable both to those who obey and those who infringe the laws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Criminal Classes, Causes and Cures In the preparation of this work, it has been the design of the author, and the expressed purpose of the publisher, to make a popular book - a book in language, style, and compass within the grasp of the common reader. The aim has also been to present a book full of interest and information for the more careful student of sociology, psychology, and criminology. In a book, however, of the size presented, it must not be expected that exhaustive treatises be given on any or all of the several types of criminal life, or upon the causes and cures thereof. Much important matter, therefore, for the complete study of the subject must be omitted here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cause and Cure of Crime HE invitation to publish this book fur nishes an occasion for urging afresh the improvement of our city police stations and county jails, which were so severely condemned by the last International Prison Congress. The nation which originated the Reforinatory and the Juvenile Court, and which has devel oped the parole system and probation of adults, has yet to learn and feel how its honor is sullied by our local prisons. Recent discus sions and experience require new emphasis on psychological laboratories in schools, courts, reformatories, and prisons; on work colonies for alcoholics and degraded misdemeanants; on a better legal basis for prison regulations; on reform of the police to save them from corruption in unholy alliance with the social evil, and to train them for the fine calling of prevention of crime; and on the readjustment of the criminal law and procedure to make them conform to the requirements of modern knowledge of the criminal character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Energy Efficient and Final Cause Causation is thus one of the bonds which connect the present with the past and the future, and the whole with God as the Great First Cause. If this be so, it is surely de sirable, it is indeed of vast importance, to have the nature of cause and our belief in it accurately unfolded, and brought into consistency with modern science. David Hume, in establishing his philosophical scepticism, labored with all his might to loosen the causal connection. In the defence of truth this principle comes next in order to that of the Criteria of Truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Spacings of Reason and Imagination written by John Sallis and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1987-04-15 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By applying the tools of deconstruction to crucial texts of German Idealism, John Sallis reveals the suppressed but essential role of imagination in even the most ambitious attempts to represent pure reason. Sallis focuses on certain operations of "spacing" in metaphysics—textual lapses and leaps in which reason is displaced or suspended or abridged. In the project of establishing priority of reason, such operations can appear only in disguise, and Sallis reveals the play of imagination and metaphor that masks them. Concentrating on what has been called the closure of metaphysics, he examines texts in which the suppression of spacing would be carried out most rigorously, texts in which even metaphysics itself is seen as only an errant roaming, a spacing that must still be secured, to be replaced by a pure space of truth. And yet, in these very texts Sallis identifies outbreaks of spacing that would disrupt the tranquil space of reason. Rather than closure, he finds an opening of reason to imagination. Sallis's reading of a metaphorical system in the Critique of Pure Reason reveals a fissuring and historicizing of what would otherwise be called pure reason. Next he traces in Fichte's major work as well as in several lesser-known texts a decentering from reason to imagination, which he characterizes as a power of hovering between opposites and beyond being. Sallis then returns to the Critique of Pure Reason to expose, in relation to the famous question of the common root of reason and sensibility, a certain eccentricity of reason. Proceeding to the Critique of Judgment, he traces a divergence of sublime nature away from that supersensible space of reason to which Kant would otherwise assimilate it—a withdrawal toward an abyss. Finally, Sallis turns to Hegel's Encyclopedia, supplementing his reading with previously unknown notes from Hegel's lectures on those sections dealing with imagination; his reading of those sections serves to expose, within the most rigorous reduction of spacing in the history of metaphysics, an irrepressible and disseminative play of imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norval Morris and Gordon Hawkins's first premise is that our criminal justice system is a moral busybody, unwisely extended beyond its proper role of protecting persons and property. But they go further and systematically cover the amount, costs, causes, and victims of crime: the reduction of violence; the police; corrections; juvenile delinquency; the function of psychiatry in crime control; organized crime; and the uses of criminological research. On each topic precise recommendations are made and carefully defended.
