Criminal Anthropology is a very interesting chapter in the History of Psychiatry of the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth.

He developed a position toward the clinical value of anthropological anomalies in forensic psychiatry diagnoses criticizing the excessive importance given also to individual anthropological anomalies.
