More about the book

Exploring the intersection of mental illness and criminal behavior, the author, a former psychiatrist, presents a scientific study aimed at various professionals, including doctors and jurists. Using historical examples from the March Revolution, he argues that a moderate-sized asylum could have stifled criminal movements. The work reflects Panizza's anarchistic and anti-monarchical views formed during his imprisonment and is linked to his earlier lectures on genius and madness. Oskar Panizza, known for his provocative writings, critiques societal norms through this examination of psychopathy.
