Ugh, Fine. Let’s Talk About Black Crime Rates Again
<p>Lombroso’s work dominated thinking about criminality in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Criminals who displayed “atavistic traits” received harsher sentences. In some cases, those traits were weighed even more heavily than witness testimony or physical evidence.</p>
<p>And all of this because of a single study in which <a href="https://www.simplypsychology.org/lombroso-theory-of-crime-criminal-man-and-atavism.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">only 40% of criminals</a> displayed any trace of Lombroso’s “primitive” characteristics.</p>
