Cesare Beccaria formulated the first modern arguments against the death penalty and wrote the first full-scale work on criminal reform and on criminal justice conforming to rational principles. He opposed the death penalty on the ground that the state does not have the right to take lives and that capital punishment was not useful and was not necessary. Beccaria also condemned torture.
Cesare Beccaria's concept of general deterrence posits that the punishment of offenders serves to discourage the broader population from committing crimes. He argued that when individuals see that punishments are certain, swift, and proportional to the crime, it creates a fear of consequences that deters potential criminals. Beccaria emphasized the importance of a rational legal system where laws are clear and punishments are predictable, thereby influencing behavior for the greater good of society. This approach underlines the social contract, where individuals agree to abide by laws to avoid the repercussions of criminal behavior.
