Cesare Bonesana di Beccaria, Marquis of Gualdrasco and Villareggio[1] (Italian:[ˈtʃeːzarebekkaˈriːa,ˈtʃɛː-]; 15 March 1738 – 28 November 1794) was an Italian criminologist,[2] jurist, philosopher, economist and politician, who is widely considered one of the greatest thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment. He is well remembered for his treatise On Crimes and Punishments (1764), which condemned torture and the death penalty, and was a founding work in the field of penology and the Classical School of criminology. Beccaria is considered the father of modern criminal law and the father of criminal justice.[3][4][5]
According to John Bessler, Beccaria's works had a profound influence on the Founding Fathers of the United States.[6]
