Excerpt from The Psychology of the Criminal
My main object has been to demonstrate how im portant is the thorough examination of the individual offender, especially in regard to his mentality. It is only by a great extension of this line of investigation that we can hope to solve the problems which criminality presents.
A considerable part of the book is devoted to that new development of psychology which is known as psycho-analysis, and to the possible applications thereof to the investigation and treatment of offenders. I have included a brief description of the theory and technique of psycho-analysis, so that the reader may not have to look elsewhere for an explanation of technical terms.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the psychology of criminals to better understand their motivations and behaviors. The author, basing their work on decades of experience, posits that the key to rehabilitation lies in examining not just the crimes committed, but the criminal themselves; the person behind the offense. Drawing upon psychoanalytic techniques, the book underscores the significance of exploring an individual's unconscious mind to uncover the underlying psychological mechanisms that drive criminal behavior. This pioneering work sets the stage for a paradigm shift in the field of criminology, shifting the focus from solely addressing criminal acts to considering the individual psychology of the perpetrator. Its insights are pivotal in shaping a more nuanced and effective approach to criminal rehabilitation.
