What reading level is Criminal Man, According to the Classification of Cesare Lombroso book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the whole, criminality is far more precocious than mental alienation, and its precocity, which is 152 CRIMINAL MAN greater among thieves than among murderers, swindlers, and those guilty of violence and assault is another proof of the congenital nature of crime and its atavistic origin, since precocity is a charac- teristic of savage races.
Seldom do we find among born criminals any in- dication of that so-called criminal scale, leading by degrees from petty offences to crimes of the most se...rious nature. As a general rule, they commence their career with just those crimes which distinguish it throughout, even when these are of the gravest kind, like robbery and murder. Rather may it be said that every age has its specific criminality, and this is the case especially with criminaloids. On the borderland between childhood and adolescence, there seems to be a kind of instinctive tendency to law- breaking, which by immature minds is often held to be a sign of virility. The Italian novelist and poet Manzoni describes this idea very well in his Promessi Sposi, when speaking of the half-witted lad Gervaso, who "because he had taken part in a plot savouring of crime, felt that he had suddenly become a man." This idea lurks in the slang word omerta used by Italian criminals, which signifies not only to be a man but a man daring enough to break the law.
