The Anthropomorphic Criminal (1958)
About this film
Dr. Kelley looks at body types in relation to criminality. He examines the characteristics of the ectomorph, and endomorph and compares historical analyses with current theories. While there is some minor relativity, the median type produces more criminals because there are more of them. There are also more policemen, doctors, and schoolteachers in this category for exactly the same reason. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
