Raffaele Garofalo
Raffaele Garofalo (born November 18, 1851 in Naples , † April 18, 1934 in Naples) was an Italian lawyer and teacher of criminal law.
After completing his law degree, the young baron pursued a career as a judge and rose to the position of President of the Court of Cassation in Naples. In addition, he completed his habilitation in 1891 at the University of Naples for criminal law and criminal procedure law . In 1909 he was appointed a member of the Italian Senate.
In addition to Cesare Lombroso and Enrico Ferri , Garofalo was instrumental in founding the Italian positivist school of criminal law of the 19th century, the "scuola positiva del diritto penale". Through his book Criminologia he made the term “ criminology ” known internationally. The word "criminology" itself is ascribed to the French anthropologist Paul Topinard , who is said to have used the term for the first time in 1879 . Garofalo introduced the concept of natural crime ( delitto naturale ) in his book . by which he meant actions that run counter to elementary human impulses. Since he considered the disposition to be innate and not educable, he spoke out in favor of the death penalty in his book Contro la corrente .
