Excerpt from Political Crime
Monsieur Louis Proal, a judge of the Court of Appeal at Aix, is a recognised authority on the theory of crime and punishment. His first important work, "Le Crime et La Peine," published at Paris in 1892, was crowned by the Institute. Offering an interpretation of increasing crime different from that which had been forced upon public attention by criminal anthropologists, it insisted upon the reality of moral responsibility and the duty of the state to punish the evil-doer. It was marked throughout by a sincere ethical spirit as well as by scientific carefulness, and was a much-needed corrective of the more extreme "anthropological" views of the Italian school. In 1895 appeared the work here translated, "La Criminalite Politique."
The term "political crime" has two meanings. Perhaps the more familiar one is that of crimes against governments, such as treason, insurrection, and rebellion. The phrase is used in this sense by the Italian writers Lombroso and Laschi in their work "II delitto politico e le rivoluzioni in rapporto al diritto, all antropologia criminale ed alla scienza di governo" (Political Crime and Revolutions).
