here's my outline.

i was going to link this, but I realized I needed to upload it to my site first- and i am not on campus with access to SSH right now. So here it is inline. RHB, you will get a hard copy in your mailbox. Ness, will you give me some feedback too? Thank you, always...

Classifying the Criminal Body
- Measurement of all parts of the body
- Racial Identification/Classification, correlations with other race/characteristics
- Hooton
- Body Type
- Sheldon & Hooton, Somatotyping (Crime and Human Nature, p 81 & Why Men Behave like Apes, 193-220)
- Physical signifiers of feeblemindedness, or other sorts of mental deficiency
- existence of biological tendencies t0ward crime-inducing behaviors (roebuck 34)
- Shift from big noses to genes: the body in its visual form becomes less important than inhereted criminality- the genetic criminal.

Judging the Criminal Body
- How science was taken by official folks. Pamphlets
- Experts to deal with the criminal body: Physicians, anthropologists, psychologists, etc.

Confining the Criminal Body
- Developing & Shifting systems of incarceration: different uses of the body in different contexts.
- Prisons
- Asylums
- Genetic confinement: sterilization
- Capital punishment
