Who was Raffael Garofalo and what did he contribute to corrections?
What will be an ideal response?
Italian lawyer Raffaele Garofalo (1852–1934) believed that because human action is often evoked by circumstances beyond human control (temperament, extreme poverty, intelligence, and certain situations), the only thing to be considered at sentencing was the offenders’ “peculiarities,” or risk factors for crime. Garofalo’s (1885/1968) only concern for individualizing sentencing was the danger offenders posed to society, and his proposed sentences ranged from execution for what he called the extreme criminal (whom we might call psychopaths today), to transportation to penal colonies for impulsive criminals, to simply changing the law to deal with what he called endemic criminals (those who commit what we today might call victimless crimes).
