"Murders and Madness" examines the French debate over crime and madness. The author argues that psychiatric theories of human behaviour and new sociological interpretations of crime combined to undermine the traditional foundations of the penal system and helped to shape the new science of criminology. As a result, traditional notions of free will and moral responsibility were eroded as new and often draconian strategies evolved from managerial practices, developed mainly by medical men. This study attempts to break down the conventional boundaries between intellectual and social history by linking the often esoteric formulations of the professionals to the defendants' own mental anguish and emotional despair. The author demonstrates how the debate over crime and madness repeatedly touched on some of the most wide-spread anxieties of an era which focused on the politics of gender and class. Through a series of case studies, she looks specifically at discussions of feminine hysteria and women's sexuality, male alcoholism and racial degeneration, crimes of passion, crowd violence and revolutionary politics.
