Ernesta Bordoni information

Ernesta Bordoni (born 1873 in Bologna, Italy)^[1] was an alleged prostitute and convicted murderer. Her life, crime, and physiological characteristics, as represented by Italian historian Guglielmo Ferrero under the teachings of criminologist Cesare Lombroso, were utilized as evidence for the theory of Anthropological criminology. Her case has been later re-analyzed in argument against the merits of anthropological or Biological Criminology. Her story is of importance to the field of criminology and its conflicting schools of thought.
