* Translated in 1819 by Edward D. Ingraham


On Crimes and Punishments is a seminal treatise on legal reform written by the Italian philosopher and thinker Cesare Beccaria between 1763 and 1764.

The essays proposed many reforms for the criminal justice system, including prompt administration of clearly prescribed and consistent punishments, well-publicized laws made by the legislature rather than individual courts or judges, the abolition of torture in prisons and the use of the penal system to deter would-be offenders, rather than simply punishing those convicted. It is also one of the earlier, and most famous, works against death penalty. The main reason put forward against that measure is that the State, by putting people to death, was committing a crime to punish another one.

<,i>On Crimes and Punishments is widely considered one of the founding texts of Classical Criminology.

On Crimes and Punishments [TRANSLATED] eBook Cesare Beccaria Edward D Ingraham

This is an interesting read of a seminal work about the law and criminal justice. Some parts can be tough going due to the antiquated language, but there are bits of wisdom to be found. The e-book version looks shorter than the paper version because there are no empty spaces between the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next (though they are still delineated by title). One thing I found annoying was there seems to be two missing chapters compared to one version I've seen online. But this was not just with the e-book but also some of the paper versions.
