Imbecile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imbecile was a controversial term used to classify a type of mental retardation, as well as a type of criminal. The term is closely associated with psychology, psychiatry, criminology, and eugenics.
It derives from the Latin word imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded. "Imbecile" was once applied to people with an IQ of 26-50, between "moron" (IQ of 51-70) and "idiot" (IQ of 0-25).
The term was further refined into mental and moral imbecility.[1][2] The concepts of "moral insanity," "moral idiocy," and "moral imbecility," led to the emerging field of eugenic criminology, which held that crime can be reduced by preventing "feeble-minded" people from reproducing.[3]
"Imbecile" as a concrete classification was popularized by psychologist Henry H. Goddard.[4] The term imbecile quickly passed into vernacular usage as a derogatory term, and it fell out of professional use in the 20th century.
