The Criminal Imbecile: An Analysis Of Three Remarkable Murder Cases (1915) is a book written by Henry Herbert Goddard. The book provides a detailed analysis of three murder cases that were committed by individuals who were classified as ""imbeciles"" at the time. The author examines the psychological and social factors that led to their criminal behavior and offers insights into the nature of criminality among individuals with intellectual disabilities. The three cases discussed in the book include the murder of Mary Phagan in Atlanta, the murder of William Edward Hickman in Los Angeles, and the murder of Grace Budd in New York. The book is considered a classic in the field of criminology and is still widely studied and referenced today.
