Abstract

In the field of criminology, biographies or life stories should increasingly become the central moment of research aimed at that historical reconstruction which helps, for example, unravelling the tangle of responsibility at the time of a criminal offence. The life story orients and provides elements for the psychic examination and contributes, with the psycho-diagnostic tests, to the discussion on the case and the assertions that precede the conclusions of the expert’s report. Placing value on the biographical approach in criminology effectively means abstracting as a guiding hypothesis the identification of the development of personality for the purposes of ascertaining the responsibility of an author and the prediction of future behaviour: reference is, therefore, to the life story understood not only as narration, but also as communication.
