Samenvatting

In this study of the debate on crime and madness in France between 1880 and 1914. Harris argues that the traditional bases of the French penal system were undermined at the time by psychiatric theories of human behaviour and new sociological interpretations of crime, which challenged legal concepts of free will and moral responsibility.
