Abstract

Pedro Dorado Montero was one of the most important figures of Criminal Science and Criminology in the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

This project of pedagogical renovation with obvious Krausists roots was not just reflected in his educational work but in a punishment theory that marked a turning point in the history of the process of the criminal law humanization, a criminal law that could not be developed without having in mind the huge social problems, among which the working class conflict played a major role.
