Disease and crime are increasingly conflated in the contemporary world. News reports proclaim "epidemics" of crime, while politicians denounce terrorism as a lethal pathological threat. Recent years have even witnessed the development of a new subfield, "epidemiological criminology," which merges public health with criminal justice to provide analytical tools for criminal justice practitioners and health care professionals. Little attention, however, has been paid to the historical contexts of these disease and crime equations, or to the historical continuities and discontinuities between contemporary invocations of crime as disease and the emergence of criminology, epidemiology, and public health in the second half of the nineteenth century. When, how and why did this pathologization of crime and criminalization of disease come about? This volume addresses these critical questions, exploring the discursive construction of crime and disease across a range of geographical and historical settings.

In Crime, Punishment and Disease, Antony Flew makes clear both the meaning and the implications carried by the application of the expression "mental disease." He aims to discourage its use in conditions that provide the victims of such diseases with an excuse for failing to perform what would have been their imperative duties had they enjoyed good mental health. Flew attacks the gross over-extensions of the notion of mental disease on both sides of the Atlantic. He defends human dignity and responsibility against the suggestion that we are all, or most of us, "sick, sick, sick." In particular, he challenges the paternalist pretensions of people who claim a right to control and manipulate others because they are allegedly sick, and consequently not responsible for what they do.In a typical ordinary disease, Flew notes, it is the patient who complains of the disease rather than someone else who complains about the patient. But those who claim that some crime or all crime is symptomatic of mental disease and those who identify disorders such as attention/deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as conditions requiring psychiatric attention are taking the disfavored behavior rather than the distress of their patients as the warrant for supposedly medical interventions. They should instead first consider how what they propose to call mental disease does, and does not, resemble syphilis, measles, and other communicable diseases.Flew sees his work as complementary to Thomas Szasz's. He applies a philosophical perspective to problems Szasz discusses as a psychiatrist. This work will be of particular interest to students of philosophy and politics, in that it relates modern discussion of mental illness to the Plato of The Republic. Flew also takes note in this context of Samuel Butler's Erewhon. This work will be of direct relevance to criminologists, as well as those interested in social welfare, philosophy of education, and new developments in psychiatry.

Excerpt from The Diseases of Society (the Vice and Crime Problem) Twenty-five years ago I witnessed a legal murder, - the hanging of two unfortunate youths condemned for an illegal murder. Neither was over twenty-one years of age. The assassination was unprovoked, unpremeditated, and committed by stabbing. Neither man carried a weapon, the knife used being taken from a neighboring butcher-shop by the frenzied murderer, who, following an altercation with his victim, rushed after the weapon, returned, and killed him. Both of the men implicated in the killing were drunk on cheap whiskey - for the drinking of which society itself was indirectly responsible. They were ignorant toughs, bred in the Chicago stock-yards district. For their viciousness society was directly responsible, for it had made no effort to prevent them from becoming toughs and drunkards. The youths were poor and almost friendless. It was impossible that both could have been guilty; one must have been innocent. Each, however, accused the other of the stabbing. Society said, "They are of the better dead;" the law said, "Let no guilty man escape;" so both were hanged. I was much impressed by the judicial assassination, and ever after had a due and proper appreciation of the beauties of our penal system, and more especially of the occasional helplessness and fickleness of Justice, of which law is not always an intelligent agent. Several years later I served for some time as Resident Surgeon to the Blackwell's Island Penitentiary, New York, where I had an unexampled opportunity to study the criminal and, in some measure, the absurdities of our criminal law and penal system. My interest in the crime question was thus excited early in my professional career. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
