 Cesare Beccaria

Accepted Answer

Cesare Beccaria was an Italian philosopher and criminologist who lived during the 18th century. He is best known for his work "On Crimes and Punishments," which was published in 1764. Beccaria argued for the reform of the criminal justice system and advocated for the use of rational principles in the administration of justice. He believed that punishment should be proportional to the crime committed and that the severity of punishment should be based on the harm caused to society. Beccaria's ideas had a significant impact on the development of modern criminal law and the principles of justice. His work laid the foundation for the concept of due process and the protection of individual rights within the legal system. Beccaria's ideas continue to be influential in the fields of criminology and criminal justice, and his work is still studied and referenced by scholars and practitioners today.
