Historically eugenics was not always an instrument to promote racism, such as in Nazism. In the early twentieth-century Western societies population problem was one of the most important issues. In that context eugenics played a specific role in developing social intervention in individual life or reproduction. This essay tries to trace such a historical role of eugenics through the analysis of the ‘police’ of feeble-mindedness as an example.
