Cesare Lombroso, often regarded as the father of criminology, proposed that certain physical and psychological traits could identify a murderer. He believed that criminals, including murderers, displayed distinct physical characteristics, such as asymmetrical features, unusual skull shapes, and other anomalies. Lombroso also associated specific personality traits with violent offenders, suggesting they might be more impulsive, less empathetic, and exhibit anti-social behavior. His theories, while groundbreaking at the time, have been largely criticized and are considered overly simplistic and deterministic by modern criminologists.
