By Arthur Macdonald

Book Overview

Abnormal Man: Being Essays On Education And Crime And Related Subjects is a book written by Arthur MacDonald and first published in 1893. The book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between education, crime, and mental health. MacDonald argues that many criminals are not inherently evil, but rather are products of a flawed education system that fails to provide them with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in society. He also examines the role of mental illness in criminal behavior, suggesting that many criminals suffer from undiagnosed or untreated conditions that contribute to their actions. Throughout the book, MacDonald provides a detailed analysis of the social and psychological factors that contribute to criminal behavior, and offers suggestions for how society can better address these issues. Overall, Abnormal Man is a thought-provoking and insightful work that remains relevant to contemporary discussions of crime and education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
