The Positivist Theory of Crime: Analyzing Crime from a Biological Point of View

Crime has been a prevalent issue in society for centuries, and people have been trying to understand its causes and how to prevent it. One of the most controversial and disputed theories regarding the origins of crime is the Positivist Theory. As we enter the modern age, we come across more positivists who have analyzed crime from an anthropological point of view following in the footsteps of Lombroso in 1876 such as Kretschmer in 1925, and Hooten in 1939 and William H. Sheldon (1898–1977). Ernst Kretschmer, a German psychiatrist, attempted to link body types with personality characteristics and mental illness.

The mark is typically oblique and is found between the chin and larynx. In partial hanging cases, a horizontal ligature mark may be observed when the body leans forward. One high-profile case of hanging that made headlines in Sri Lanka was th...
