Cesare Lombroso, called as "the Father of the Positive Criminology", is well-known for everyone who studies criminology or criminal law, but a varieties of his criminological thoughts and methods are rarely known except "born criminal" or "atavism". His famous book, Criminal Man, includes a wider range of subjects, for example criminal craniums, criminal jargons, criminal literature, tattoos, criminal woman, prostitution, insane criminal, etiology of crime, crime and inferior organism, moral insanity, epileptics, prevention of crime and etc. As a physician and positivist, Lombroso gathered and researched a lot of data about criminals and their activities, and analysed their meaning, so he could suggested some proper crime preventions according to the types of criminals: born criminal, ecliptics, alcoholic criminal, hysterical criminal, occasional criminal. And he was much concerned with criminal woman, prostitute and prison culture: art and industry among criminals. It is said that Lombroso's criminological thoughts and research method are based on positivism, evolution theory and sociology. But besides those, linguistics and history, moral statistics and biogenetic law also had an influence on him and he had an active contact with a lot of scholars in and out of Italy. To Lombroso there are some critics above his research method and suggestions, but he is worth deserving of admiration as a founder of positive school and, as Thorsten Sellin said, "any scholar who succeeds in driving hundreds of fellow students to search for the truth and whose idears after half a century possess vitality, metits an honorable plce in the history of thought."
