Description

Excerpt from The Criminal Mind It is my purpose to state here, in the simplest and clearest form, the sum of our most recently-acquired and most certain information respecting the structure and the action of the brain of Man, in order that we may ascertain to what extent these new ideas - I mean those which we may regard as finally accepted, and henceforth incontestable - are calculated to modify the received and current ideas upon crime, the criminal, and penal legislation. For thirty years physiologists and physicians have been engaged, even more assiduously than lawyers and philosophers, in ploughing that old field of human knowledge anew, in turning-up the dry and dusty soil so as to bring the deep mould to the surface, more fresh and fruitful. Why should it be surprising that a doctor should again put in his word. I do not, however, disguise from myself that the task is not a grateful one.
