Sinossi
Excerpt from Why Some Men Kill: Or Murder Mysteries Revealed
I did not feel confident that the list was entirely accurate, but I realized that every day association with the prisoners prob ably made the designation of defective by these men worthy of thoughtful consideration at least. In jotting down the names of these prisoners I asked what offenses they had committed. In this list approximating 70 defective prisoners 36 were serving sentences for rape and of the 36 there were 13 who had raped their own daughters. One prisoner was serving his third term for this same offense. Seventeen of these prisoners were guilty of the offense which has made ancient Sodom a byword through the centuries. Six of these men had committed murder and all of the six were sex perverts.
Naturally these defective beings often have a defective moral sense. My observation has often confirmed that fact. Kraft Ebing remarks that this psychic degeneration, however, has a more profound pathological foundation, because often it can be referred to distinct cerebro-pathologic conditions, and often enough is associated with anatomic signs of degeneration.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often misunderstood realm of criminal psychology, specifically focusing on the intersection of crime and feeble-mindedness. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the author explores the lives and crimes of individuals categorized as "morons" ââ â a term used at the time to describe those with limited intellectual capacity. Through compelling case studies, the author examines the psychological motivations and limitations of these individuals, highlighting their inability to foresee consequences, their susceptibility to impulsive behavior, and their childlike desire for approval. The narrative challenges prevailing notions of crime and punishment, arguing that traditional approaches often fail to consider the diminished responsibility of the intellectually disabled. The author contends that understanding the unique psychological landscape of morons is crucial not only for comprehending their criminal actions but also for developing more humane and effective methods of prevention and rehabilitation. By shedding light on the lives and minds of these often-marginalized individuals, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between mental capacity, morality, and criminal justice. Ultimately, it compels us to question our assumptions about crime and consider the ethical implications of punishing those whose capacity for understanding and controlling their actions is inherently limited.
