Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"Enlightenment in law comes not from severity, but from clarity, certainty, and proportionality."
"Enlightenment in law comes not from severity, but from clarity, certainty, and proportionality."
"It is better to prevent crimes than to punish them."
"The purpose of punishment is not to torment a sensible being, nor to undo a crime already committed."
"Certainty of punishment, even if mild, is more effective than severity."
"Laws are the conditions under which men, naturally independent, unite to form society."
