Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"Punishment serves no purpose if the offender does not know the law he broke."
"Punishment serves no purpose if the offender does not know the law he broke."
"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."
