Excerpt from The Habitual Criminals Bill, and Reformatories for Adults In the same clause occurs the same measure as in the previous, viz., that the offender after such third conviction if found under circumstances of suspicion, may be sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment by two Justices or a Stipendiary Magistrate. As I have before said, I do not like throwing the responsibility of a. 12 months' sentence upon a Court of hardly sufficient weight to bear it. And here I think another alteration is needful. On the cumulative principle, successive punishments ought to increase in severity, and when a man has had seven years penal servitude, it seems useless to return him to the common Gaol. I should like therefore to add that he may be committed on summary conviction before two Justices to imprisonment not exceeding three months; or before Quarter Sessions or Assizes, to penal servitude not exceeding seven years. Before leaving this Clause you must pardon my again saying that I believe it will turn out to be the most important measure for the Repression of Habitual crime that has ever been passed.

Excerpt from Juvenile Offenders I have had occasion to point out publicly from time to time that one of the formidable problems confronting civilised communities at the close of the present century is the problem of habitual crime. It is perfectly well known to every serious student of criminal questions, both at home and abroad, that the proportion of habitual criminals in the criminal population is steadily on the increase and was never so high as it is now. In almost every official document dealing with penal administration this unsatisfactory state of things is both admitted and deplored. In France, Germany, and Italy the proportion of old offenders who come before the criminal courts is constantly growing, while in Eng land matters are just as bad. This is made perfectly clear by the report of the Committee on the Iden tification of Habitual Criminals. From a table compiled for the use of that committee it appeared that in Lancashire, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and Staffordshire about 70 per cent. Of the prisoners tried were known to have been previously convicted in Liverpool, Birmingham, and Bradford, 79 per cent.

How do you trap someone in a lie? For centuries, all manner of truth-seekers have used the lie detector. In this eye-opening book, Geoffrey C. Bunn unpacks the history of this device and explores the interesting and often surprising connection between technology and popular culture. Lie detectors and other truth-telling machines are deeply embedded in everyday American life. Well-known brands such as Isuzu, Pepsi Cola, and Snapple have advertised their products with the help of the “truth machine,” and the device has also appeared in countless movies and television shows. The Charles Lindbergh “crime of the century” in 1935 first brought lie detectors to the public’s attention. Since then, they have factored into the Anita Hill–Clarence Thomas sexual harassment controversy, the Oklahoma City and Atlanta Olympics bombings, and one of the most infamous criminal cases in modern memory: the O. J. Simpson murder trial. The use of the lie detector in these instances brings up many intriguing questions that Bunn addresses: How did the lie detector become so important? Who uses it? How reliable are its results? Bunn reveals just how difficult it is to answer this last question. A lie detector expert concluded that O. J. Simpson was “one hundred percent lying” in a video recording in which he proclaimed his innocence; a tabloid newspaper subjected the same recording to a second round of evaluation, which determined Simpson to be “absolutely truthful.” Bunn finds fascinating the lie detector’s ability to straddle the realms of serious science and sheer fantasy. He examines how the machine emerged as a technology of truth, transporting readers back to the obscure origins of criminology itself, ultimately concluding that the lie detector owes as much to popular culture as it does to factual science.

Cesare Lombroso is widely considered the founder of criminology. His theory of the “born” criminal dominated European and American thinking about the causes of criminal behavior during the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth. This volume offers English-language readers the first critical, scholarly translation of Lombroso’s Criminal Man, one of the most famous criminological treatises ever written. The text laid the groundwork for subsequent biological theories of crime, including contemporary genetic explanations. Originally published in 1876, Criminal Man went through five editions during Lombroso’s lifetime. In each edition Lombroso expanded on his ideas about innate criminality and refined his method for categorizing criminal behavior. In this new translation, Mary Gibson and Nicole Hahn Rafter bring together for the first time excerpts from all five editions in order to represent the development of Lombroso’s thought and his positivistic approach to understanding criminal behavior. In Criminal Man, Lombroso used modern Darwinian evolutionary theories to “prove” the inferiority of criminals to “honest” people, of women to men, and of blacks to whites, thereby reinforcing the prevailing politics of sexual and racial hierarchy. He was particularly interested in the physical attributes of criminals—the size of their skulls, the shape of their noses—but he also studied the criminals’ various forms of self-expression, such as letters, graffiti, drawings, and tattoos. This volume includes more than forty of Lombroso’s illustrations of the criminal body along with several photographs of his personal collection. Designed to be useful for scholars and to introduce students to Lombroso’s thought, the volume also includes an extensive introduction, notes, appendices, a glossary, and an index.

A brilliant work from the most influential philosopher since Sartre.
