Prof. P. I. Kovalevsky. General Symptomatology of Crime. Russian Medical Bulletin, 1900, February 1

Abstract

The author acquaints the reader with the personality of the criminal. Having set himself this goal, he divided his work into two parts — general and particular. The material for this work was the notes of prison doctors (Despene, Thomson, Davydov, etc.), judicial acts, rѣches, etc., as well as the works of fiction writers - psychologists who lived with prisoners, such as: Dostoevsky, Markevich, etc. Referring to the works of Dostoevsky and Davydov, the author says that the criminal is a proud, arrogant, vindictive, lazy, cowardly, unbearable man. But behind these unsympathetic features there is more light, this is religion, love for the theater and for animals.
