Is there a scientific basis for judging criminals from their faces?
No matter how well you say it, people will still "judge people by their appearances" in their bones. There is no doubt that a good face is part of competitiveness. However, there is some lack of scientific basis to say that faces can predict future fortune, because people's faces will change with time and can also be changed through micro-shaping. Judging by appearances alone is not convincing. However, more than 100 years ago, an Italian criminologist, Lombraud Sol, held a stronger view. He believes that faces can predict who will commit crimes in advance.

Lombroso

1878 He published "On Criminals", which mentioned that about 30% criminals are born, and they are doomed to commit crimes in the future in their genes, regardless of social and personal environment. This kind of person is like a lion entering the city. There is no law and order in their eyes. They just want to do whatever they want, so they are bound to commit crimes. Such people are also called "born criminals". They often have a lot in common physically and psychologically, especially the five senses.

Lombraud Suo observed the faces and postures of condemned prisoners for a long time, and found that many people had low skulls, high spines, sunken eyes and protruding heads. If we have a lot of such information in advance, we can find them out and "focus on them" before committing crimes, which can greatly reduce the crime rate in cities. However, this view of face-to-face conviction is easy to cause internal contradictions and discrimination, which is quickly criticized by people from all walks of life and even denied by the mainstream scientific community. Some even ridiculed lombroso. "I think you have these five senses. Why not judge yourself first? " . But who is lombroso? As the father of modern criminology, he can tell the relationship between face and crime, which is bound to be related to his own experience.

Lombroso received a good medical education in his early years, served as a military doctor in the army, and made anthropometry for more than 3,000 soldiers, focusing on the relationship between human structure, personality and crime. After the war, he served as the president of the mental hospital, dissected more than 0/000 corpses/kloc-0, and studied and measured more than 300 criminals.

Lombraud Sol wrote in his paper: Many criminals have different ears, long arms and asymmetrical faces. Further subdivision, thieves often have crooked noses, murderers have crooked noses, and some criminals show an atavism, that is, they look more like orangutans or other animals. This conclusion was discovered through big data, so what is the scientific explanation and basis? Now it seems that the relationship between appearance and crime really has scientific basis, and criminals may suffer from Xiong Chao's syndrome. The sex chromosome of biologically normal women is XX, and that of men is XY. If the Y chromosome is not separated in the second stage of meiosis, two Y chromosomes will appear in some sperm. When these sperm combine with egg cells, the offspring will be XYY males. Y chromosome is unique to men, and one more Y chromosome than normal men means "more men and less men", so it is scientifically called super-male syndrome.

The most striking feature of this kind of people is that they are extremely tall, with an average height exceeding 180CM. The hand bones are underdeveloped and the fingers are bent to a certain extent. Mental retardation. If the IQ of normal people is around 85, then their IQ is between 60 and 80.

Two patients with XYY syndrome

Physiologically, most XYY males have several characteristics: wide eye distance, acne on the face, irregular teeth, flat cheekbones, low ears, and slightly similar appearance among individuals, just like 2 1 trisomy syndrome has a "dementia" appearance, and it is the changes of chromosomes that produce this similar appearance. The most important point is that such people are very violent, impulsive, irritable and prone to crime. According to statistics abroad, the crime rate of XYY men is about 10 times higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, the theory of facial crime does have certain scientific truth. Natural criminals are likely to commit crimes for pathological reasons, and their chromosomes have problems. Therefore, Ron Braud's theory that genes doomed some people to commit crimes in the future also has some merits. Lombraud spindle also found that the probability of atavism among prisoners in prison is much higher than that of ordinary people. They look like prehistoric people, with small brains, thick skulls, backward foreheads, squint eyes and very sensitive personalities.

Some people may look like other animals.

These people may not have abnormal chromosomes, but their genes may retain a trace of wildness. Animal instinct makes them impulsive and more likely to commit crimes. "Facial features, genes and crime" have a certain relationship, but the relationship between facial features and crime is due to pathological reasons and genetic problems. If they are completely healthy normal people, do their faces have anything to do with crime?

Because of practical problems, it is difficult to select samples of people with normal chromosomes and genes from criminals, and there is also a lack of relevant scientific research. Moreover, crime is greatly influenced by the acquired environment, and many people are also negligent crimes. From a scientific point of view, it is more likely that in healthy people, looks have nothing to do with crime. You can find criminals with evil looks and good hearts. People often say that we are born from the heart, but some people say that we can't judge a book by its cover. In fact, before committing a crime, each of us is a potential offender, but the probability is different.
