reviewed The Girl Problem: Female Sexual Delinquency in New York, 1900-1930 on July 29, 2018 The Girl Problem
On Crimes and Punishment, Cesare Beccaria argues for different punishments.
He starts with a famous quote,
"Every punishment which does not arise from absolute necessity is tyrannical." -- Montesquieu
Laws are conditions under which Men are united.
Punishments are necessities to defend public liberty.
Beccaria writes on all types of crimes, including Adultery, Suicide and Sodomy.
How do you convict Suicide? After all, the person has died.
It seemed that he has a strong case to argue for most of crimes and punishment.
One quote which I loved was, "The Laws is greater than of those by whom they are violated, the risk of torturing an innocent person is greater."
I imagine for death penalty, torture, the risk of inflicting pain on innocent people is greater. As I was learning about death penalty in the United States, they abolished it around 1850's - 1890's due to a lot of pressure from Social Justice groups. A few states still have death penalty.
During the late 1800s, Some people find it entertaining when someone was hanged in public. They would drink in public while watching execution. Now these are not in the book.
Overall a great introduction to Crimes and Punishment.
