Recent years have witnessed a resurgence of biological research into the causes of crime, but the origins of this kind of research date back to the late nineteenth century. Here, Richard Wetzell presents the first history of German criminology from Imperial Germany through the Weimar Republic to the end of the Third Reich, a period that provided a unique test case for the perils associated with biological explanations of crime. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources from criminological, legal, and psychiatric literature, Wetzell shows that German biomedical research on crime predominated over sociological research and thus contributed to the rise of the eugenics movement and the eventual targeting of criminals for eugenic measures by the Nazi regime. However, he also demonstrates that the development of German criminology was characterized by a constant tension between the criminologists' hereditarian biases and an increasing methodological sophistication that prevented many of them from endorsing the crude genetic determinism and racism that characterized so much of Hitler's regime. As a result, proposals for the sterilization of criminals remained highly controversial during the Nazi years, suggesting that Nazi biological politics left more room for contention than has often been assumed.

Excerpt from The Criminal: The Crime; The Penalty Job iv. 8: "They that plough iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same." These words were true three thousand years ago, and they are equally true to-day. It has been the concurrent experience of all ages, that wrong prevails but a little while; and, though it succeed in putting on the imperial robes of power, it shortly comes to grief. We see a new and fearful illustration of this law, - an illustration that speaks with warning eloquence to all American citizens, in the short but ignoble career of that man who is at last a captive in the hands of justice. We look back upon the rebellion which he inaugurated, and which in crumbling is likely to bury him beneath its ruins, and we search in vain for a single bright spot in all its black darkness of cruelty and crime. Generally, in a vast movement of this kind, involving the welfare of so many persons, one can find an excuse either in the motive which began it, the heroism which illustrated it, or the sublime courage, overcome but not conquered, which marked its end. But here you read the whole tragedy through with an aching heart, from the first to the last act: in the plot and in the actors, you find no single attribute of pure, high-minded, revolutionary fame. Here is the nucleus of fact, out of which the terrible drama has been constructed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This early work by Richard Marsh was originally published in 1899 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. In the first part of this split narrative, Thomas Tennant finds himself in the same train compartment with Ellen Howth, a woman from his past. He leaves the carriage while the train is still moving, but ‘Nelly’ falls out instead. When a woman’s body is found by the railway line, Tennant assumes she has died and accepts the guilt. The second narrator is Reginald Townsend, who has strangled his mistress under the railway arches. Nelly takes up the story, relating how she has argued with Tennant, fallen out of the train, and witnessed the murder. Richard Marsh – or otherwise known as Richard Bernard Heldmann – was born in England in 1857. Heldmann began publishing fiction during 1880, in the form of boys’ school and adventure stories, for magazine publications. A best-selling and prolific author of the late 19th century and the Edwardian period, Marsh is best known now for his supernatural thriller novel The Beetle, which was published the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897).

The Criminal Child offers the first English translation of a key early work by Jean Genet. In 1949, in the midst of a national debate about improving the French reform-school system, Radiodiffusion Française commissioned Genet to write about his experience as a juvenile delinquent. He sent back a piece that was a paean to prison instead of the expected horrifying exposé. Revisiting the cruel hazing rituals that had accompanied his incarceration, relishing the special argot spoken behind bars, Genet bitterly denounced any improvement in the condition of young prisoners as a threat to their criminal souls. The radio station chose not to broadcast Genet’s views. “The Criminal Child” appears here with a selection of Genet’s finest essays, including his celebrated piece on the art of Alberto Giacometti.
