Cesare Lombroso is an outstanding Italian psychiatrist and forensic scientist who devoted life to the study of the nature of the madness and psychology of the criminal. He was the first to put forward the idea of crime as an innate property of character, drawing the attention of forensics not to the crime, but to the inner world of it. He developed a special formula according to which, on the basis of measuring the skull and other parts of the body, it is possible to determine the degree of a person’s inclination to a criminal act, classified a variety of manifestations of asocial behavior in women, investigated the connections between genius and mental anomalies on examples of outstanding personalities. Despite the peremptory of judgments and sometimes fantastic conclusions, Lombroso works are read today with great interest. In these works, the reader can get acquainted with numerous criminal stories of the past, unexpected statistical calculations, curious facts from the life of famous people, and, finally, plunge into the world of the clinical and psychoanalytic thought of the nineteenth century
