On Crimes and Punishments
This celebrated treatise from Cesare Beccaria voices the Italian thinker’s objections to the death penalty, torture, and other forms of corporeal punishment. Offering arguments still used by modern opponents of capital punishment, Beccaria’s lasting influence is largely due to this powerful treatise and the humane sentiment contained therein.
