About the Author Clarence Seward Darrow (April 18, 1857 – March 13, 1938) was an American lawyer and leading member of the American Civil Liberties Union, best known for defending teenage thrill killers Leopold and Loeb in their trial for murdering 14-year-old Robert "Bobby" Franks (1924), for defending Ossian Sweet, and defending John T. Scopes in the Scopes "Monkey" Trial (1925), in which he opposed William Jennings Bryan (statesman, noted orator, and 3-time presidential candidate). Called a "sophisticated country lawyer", he remains notable for his wit and agnosticism, which marked him as one of the most famous American lawyers and civil libertarians.

By Fitzgerald Fan I recently wrote a seminar paper in which I discuss the criminality, duality, and psychology of Dostoevsky's "Raskolnikov" (from Crime and Punishment). Randomly, I came across Darrow's book while I was doing my research and could not believe how well it related to the overall psychology that pervades Dostoevsky's text.The idea that reason has little to do with crime and that the environment, in addition to instinct, is responsible for the actions of the human machine are very interesting indeed. Of course, in today's times, this opinion may not be favored, but if you are a fan of writers such as Dostoevsky and the problems of unexplained crime such as murder with no motive, Darrow's ideas do seem to have a certain amount of merit.Personally, I believe that Dostoevsky and Darrow should be read in conjunction---but, if you've no interest in the greatest Russian novel ever written, I still recommend Darrow's book on its own. It is thought provoking at the very least. Recommended.

A cogently argued theory of the root causes of crime by an intuitive genius who was way ahead of his time By No45 Clarence Darrow was an intuitive genius whose theories on the causes of crime were way ahead of his time. Darrow wrote this book in 1922. It would be another 30 years before the structure and function of DNA would be discovered, Today, more than 75 years after it was written, cutting edge neurological research seems to support Darrow's central hypothesis that criminal behavior is caused by psycho-physical factors that are beyond the individual's control.Scientists working in the new field of neuro-economics have established a direct link between the mechanics that regulates individual decision-making and the genetic structure of the human brain. Just last week an international team of scientists announced the discovery of the specific part of the brain that controls decision making. See "Scientists discover brain part that drives decision-making," [...] (Nov. 25, 2013). See also "Fundamental role for lateral habenula in promoting subjective decision biases," [...] >>>Additional research in this area is also being conducted in the Glimcher Lab at NYU. [...]See Paul W. Glimcher (2008) Neuroeconomics. Scholarpedia, 3(10):1759); See also "The Neural Basis of Decision Making," >> [...] (2007).While the scientific research on the causal connection between brain structure and decision-making is still in its infancy, it increasingly looks as if variations or defects in the physical structure of the human brain can predispose certain individuals to engage in the type of impulsive decision-making that precipitates criminal conduct. Although the researchers have been focusing their studies on economic decision-making, the implications of this research for the administration of the criminal justice system are obvious. Can individuals with specific variations in brain structure be considered to have been "hard-wired" for a life of crime?
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Nature v. Nurture By michael Although written over 90 years ago, many of Darrow's views permeate today's thinking. He basically posits that man is not morally bad but engages in criminal acts because of the interplay between his poor environment and physical weaknesses. Some of the vocabulary and conclusions are kind of funny but most are spot-on. He calls the body the "machine" and posits "duckless glands" often release substances that cause violent behaviors that cannot be prevented. He basically is speaking of hormones but the science and jargon of the day was limited. I found it a great read. He concludes that we should make environments easier for criminals when they are released and to treat offenders more on the lines like that of the mentally or physically ill to avoid labeling. Although there are many chapters they are very short. One major negative is that it is really just a long and well-written essay. He admits to and uses no references, data, or even citations.
