Excerpt from The Mentality of the Criminal Woman: A Comparative Study of the Criminal Woman, the Working Girl, and the Efficient Working Woman in a Series of Mental and Physical Tests
The earlier criminologists, led by Lombroso, developed the idea of a criminal type. The "born criminal" was supposed to be characterized by a typical and unmistakable physiognomy, and much was said and written of the criminal nose, the criminal ear, and the like. The later developments of criminology showed that Lombroso and his followers had been carried away by the enthusiasm of the pioneer and had fallen victims to the fallacies of hasty generalization. In recent years the analysis of criminality has been directed, and rightly, more definitely upon the mental traits of the criminal; it has become evident that the mind is more significant than the face, that the composition of motives underlying conduct is more significant than the contour of the mouth, that the presence of feeble-mindedness is more significant than the presence of feeble bodily constitution. It is but natural, then, that the rapid development of mental tests should include their application to criminals of various types with the idea of discovering empirically in what ways their responses to these tests might differ characteristically from the responses of normal, law-abiding citizens.
In the present monograph Dr. Jean Weidensall publishes the results of an extensive investigation in which the responses of a group of women at the Bedford Hills, New York, Reformatory are compared, step by step, with the responses to the same mental tests previously gathered by Dr. Helen T. Woolley and Mrs. Charlotte R. Fischer in the Bureau of Vocational Guidance connected with the public schools in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The results are of prime importance both to workers with mental tests and to practical penologists who seek to individualize punishment in such a manner as to meet the needs of the offender as well as the needs of the offense.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines female criminality in the early twentieth century. The author makes use of mental tests to study the relationship between criminal behavior and mental capacity in women. By comparing the results of these tests with those of law-abiding women, the author gained insight into the mental characteristics associated with criminal behavior. This study contributed to the understanding of female criminality in a period when few resources existed for the rehabilitation and support of women who committed crimes. It also advanced the use of psychological testing in the study of criminal behavior and highlighted the importance of recognizing the mental characteristics that can contribute to criminal behavior.
