Following introductory chapters discussing the science of clinical criminology and the relationship between clinical criminology and personality research, there is a detailed examination of the relationship between mental illness and criminal behavior. Some of the topics covered here include psychopathic personalities; abnormal, primitive, hysterical, and paranoid reactions; organic, schizophrenic, and manic- depressive psychoses; and alcoholism. Subsequent chapters explore the causes of criminality and the criminal personality's broad outlines of criminal semeiotics. Criminogenesis involves the analysis of predisposition to criminality, biocriminogenesis, and psychocriminogenesis. There follows a discussion of the criminodynamics of property offenses, sexual offenses, and violent offenses. The final two chapters deal with crime prevention and rehabilitation of the criminal offender. Chapter references
