About the Book

The Positive School of Criminology by Enrico Ferri is a key publication that contributed to the development of criminology as a scientific field. The positivist school, which claimed that all human behavior, including criminal conduct, could be explained by natural causes, set out to create a new method for studying crime that was founded on these ideas.According to Ferri, a mix of social, biological, and psychological variables contribute to criminal conduct. He held the view that criminals were not born, but rather produced, and that society had a duty to address the underlying factors that contribute to crime. The Positive School of Criminology made a substantial contribution to the study of criminology and changed how crime was investigated and comprehended for the better. Ferri's theories contributed to the change in criminology's emphasis from retribution and punishment to prevention and rehabilitation. His research cleared the path for more scientific methods to crime detection, investigation, and prevention, which had a significant impact on the evolution of the criminal justice system. The Positive School of Criminology is still regarded as a significant book in the history of criminology and is still researched and discussed by academics today, despite certain critiques of Ferri's theories, notably with regard to his emphasis on the relevance of biological variables in criminal conduct.

About Author

Enrico Ferri

Italian politician, sociologist, and criminologist Enrico Ferri was born in Lombardy on February 25, 1856. He is well-known for his contributions to the subject of criminology and is regarded as one of the pioneers of the Positive School of Criminology, which placed an emphasis on the value of scientific analysis in understanding criminal behavior and promoted the treatment of convicts with greater compassion. In his work, Ferri concentrated on the socioeconomic roots of crime and made the case that things like poverty and social inequality—aspects outside the individual's control—determine criminal conduct. He also supported the employment of non-penal methods, such as education and social welfare programs, to prevent crime and thought that punishment should be centered on rehabilitation rather than revenge. Ferri was a criminologist who was also involved in politics. From 1895 until 1921, he was a member of the Italian Parliament. He was a socialist who spent his whole career fighting for social justice and labor rights. Ferri passed away in 1929, but his concepts and contributions to the study of criminology still have an impact on academics and decision-makers today.
