Cesar Becarria wrote an essay on Crime and Punishment in 1764. Describe and explain the elements of this paper and why it is still relevant to the United States criminal Justice system 254 years later?” That is the question. Please use my notes from class:
– Social Contract
Caesar Beccaria impacted how the criminal justice system worked. Wrote an article prior to united states constitution being written/adopted.
-Change law to meet societal means “if society agrees”
for example, we don’t want grown men preying no little children, so as a society we created laws as a society with rules.
-Free Will
– people know what their doing and choose to. They understand the rules not the consequences.
