Enrico Ferri, an Italian criminologist, made significant contributions to the field of criminology by advancing the idea of positivist criminology. He emphasized the importance of scientific methods in studying crime and deviance, and argued that criminal behavior is a result of biological, psychological, and sociological factors. Ferri also focused on social reforms and prevention strategies to address the root causes of crime.
