Biological Theories of Criminology | Cesare Lombroso and Y-Chromosome Theory |William Sheldon Theory
Lombroso’s (1876) biological theory of criminology suggests that criminality is inherited and that someone “born criminal” could be identified by the way they look.
In 1876 Lombroso, an Italian criminologist proposed an atavistic form as an explanation for offending behavior. This explanation was focused on the notion that criminals have physical distinguishing features.
In The Criminal Man (“L’Uomo delinquente”), first published in 1876, he suggested that there was distinct biological class of people that were prone to criminality.
These people exhibited ‘atavistic’ (i.e. primitive) features. Atavistic derives from the word “avatus”, which means ancestor in Latin.
These atavistic characteristics, he argued, denoted the fact that the offenders were at a more primitive stage of evolution than non-offenders; they were “genetic throwbacks”. This made them, according to Lombroso, wilder, untamed and unable to fit in the 1870s society and therefore they would inevitably turn to crime.
This implies that criminality is inherited and that it can be identified by physical defects.
