Dei Delitte E Delle Pene

by Cesare Beccaria

About This Book

Cesare Beccaria (1738-1794) is known almost exclusively as the author of On Crimes and Punishments, a short book on criminal law reform that excited keen interest and great controversy when it was first published in 1764 and that still commands attention both for some of the issues it raises and for the answers it suggests.
