Cesare Beccaria  

Definition

  • Cesare Bonesana Beccaria (1738–94) was an Italian economist and politician best known for his brief but justly celebrated pioneering essay on penology, Dei delitti e delle penne (On Crimes and Punishments). This essay colored the views of many successive legal reformers and became incorporated into the penal codes of Europe and the United States.
