Q Cesare Lombroso’s “Theory of the Criminal Man” pointed to body types and physical properties of man as an explanation for criminal behavior. Although this point of view is no longer supported in the criminal justice field, it’s essence still tends to exist in the portrayal by some Hollywood movie producers! Lombroso’s study of the “Criminal Man” (1861) led many to believe that a criminal possessed certain physical characteristics. Why do you propose that some people today (2020) might still think that criminals can “look” a certain way? Why would someone still have this idea, in your opinion? Why is it important to study theories like this that are no longer supported in the field? Provide examples to support your viewpoint. ?

Although different studies have reflected the fact that criminals possess certain physical characteristics, still there are cases of exception. In 2020, it is completely irrelevant to think that criminals can look a certain way. I believe that criminal activities can be done by anybody and there cannot be a particular look for a criminal, it is all about in their mind and not in the look. Someone still has this idea because of psychology and human behavior. The society has fixed a particular look for the criminal and everyone knowingly or unknowingly follow that structure of the society.
