Neo-Lombrosianism

Neo-Lombrosianism is one theory of crime that was proposed as an alternative to classical differential association theory in the 1960s. According to this theory, crime is caused by genetic and biological factors rather than social and cultural factors.

The theory was created by Italian scientist Alfred Lombroso, who was known for his work in the field of criminology and forensic medicine. He believed that criminals were born, not made, and that there was a genetic code that determined predisposition to crime.

Neo-Lombrosianism rejects ideas of differential association, which are considered dubious. Instead, the neo-Lombrosian approach emphasizes the heredity of a person's behavior and views the physiological factors of his personality as the main determinants of his behavioral patterns.

One of the main arguments in favor of the neo-Lambrosian approach is the fact that many crimes, such as violence and violence, are related to the physical characteristics of a person. For example, people with high levels of aggression and physical strength are often prone to violent crimes.

However, this approach has caused criticism and doubts among scientists. For example, some scientists believe that human genetic characteristics do not explain the diversity of human behavior.
