Università Roma Tre

The course will take an historical-juridical, multidisciplinary approach to outline the evolution of criminal science. From the first seeds of physiognomy, we will take a non-linear analytical path to the advent of the criminal anthropology of the Lombrosian school of thought and theoretical prosecutions. 
At the same time, we will consider the first investigative techniques and research methods that appeal to today’s criminology. We will undertake an articulated screening of judicial cases and evaluate the importance granted to medicine, psychiatry and psychology within the criminal justice system from the second half of the 19th century to the 20th century.
