Overview

""Coercion and Perversion, Or, Primeval Degenerates"" delves into the understanding of criminal behavior and societal responses during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Authored by Henry Harrison DeWeese, this work explores the theories surrounding the origins of crime, focusing on the concepts of coercion and perversion as driving factors behind deviant actions. The book examines the socio-economic conditions, psychological elements, and hereditary influences contributing to criminality. DeWeese's analysis offers a critical perspective on the penal systems of the time, questioning their effectiveness and exploring alternative approaches to rehabilitation and social control. The text provides insight into the historical context of criminological thought, highlighting the evolving attitudes toward deviance and the challenges faced by societies in addressing crime.
