Abstract: |
In the chapter titled “Patriarchy and Criminal Anthropology” we examine the relationship between patriarchy and criminological anthropology, focusing on how the anatomically paternalistic approach of Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909) intersects with ideas of race, gender, sexuality, and crime. Specifically, the concepts of the born criminal, the prostitute, and the inversion of the gender binary became focal points in criminological anthropological research. The chapter includes brief excerpts from Lombroso's writings, mainly from “L'Uomo Delinquente” (1876), which was translated into Greek in 1925. Additionally, Lombroso co-authored the book “La donna delinquente: La prostituta e la donna normale” (written in 1893) with the Italian historian and his son-in-law Guglielmo Ferrero (1871-1942), where his anatomical-pathological and anthropometric methods again intertwine with concepts of gender, race, sexuality, and criminality.
