Criminals as Animals demonstrates how animal metaphors have been used to denigrate persons identified as criminal in literature, law, and science. It traces the popularization of the 'criminal beast' metaphor in the late 16th century, the troubling of the trope during the long 18th century, and the later discovery of criminal atavism.
