Lombroso Galaxy or Theory of the Criminal Man

The book "Lombroso Galaxy" explores the influence of the Italian intellectual Cesare Lombroso on social policy in Latin America in the late nineteenth century.

The book highlights the impact of these ideas on the repressive, prison, and psychiatric systems, as well as on racial relations in Latin American countries. This cultural phenomenon is described as significant but forgotten in contemporary society.
