		CESARE LOMBROSO (1836-1909), Italian criminologist, was born on the 18th of November 1836 at Verona, of a Jewish family.

	Cesare Lombroso
		Cesare Lombroso, (1835-1909), was an Italian anthropologist and criminologist.
		Lombroso was one of the pioneers of the study of human criminal delinquency, but his work was hampered by the received ideas of social Darwinism that were current in his day.
		Lombroso measured the shape and size of criminals' heads, and concluded that they displayed atavistic traits that were throwbacks to primitive man. In effect, what Lombroso had created was a new pseudoscience of forensic phrenology.

		Though Lombroso was strongly criticized for his practice of examining the bumps on a criminal’s skull, his ideas began a legacy of study relating to the brain.

		Cesare Lombroso, (1835-1909) was the next researcher to build upon the theories of Gall.
		Lombroso was an Italian physician who performed hundreds of post mortem examinations on criminals during the late 19th century.
		Lombroso became convinced that a criminal was an immoral person, a sort of throwback to primitive man who had not developed to the same biological level as the modern, non-criminal man.

	Cesare Lombroso - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
		Ezechia Marco Lombroso (Verona; 6 de noviembre de 1835 - Turín; 19 de octubre de 1909), conocido con el pseudónimo Cesare Lombroso, fue un médico y criminólogo italiano, representante del positivismo criminológico, llamado en su tiempo la nueva escuela (Nuova Scuola), teoría sostenida también por Enrico Ferri y Rafaele Garofalo.
		Hijo de Aarón Lombroso y Zefora Levi, en 1852 se inscribió en la facultad de medicina de la Universidad de Pavía, donde se graduó en 1858.
		La concepción de Lombroso torna irrelevante el estudio de la imputabilidad del sujeto, puesto que –según se deriva lógicamente de sus postulados– todos los criminales son inimputables, y cuanto menor sea su responsabilidad, mayor es su peligrosidad.
