This edition of Beccaria’s On Crimes and Punishments and other writings presents a radicallly new interpretation of his thought.Drawing on recent Italian scholarship,Richard Bellamy shows how Beccaria wove together the various political philosohty,often regarded as no more than a precursor of Bentham’s,combines republican,contractarian,romantic and liberal as well as utilitarian themes.The result is a complex theory of punishment that derives form a sophisticated analysis of the role of state and the nature of human motvation in commercial society.
The translation used in this edition is based on the fifth Italian edition and provides English - speading readers with Beccaria’s own ordering of his text for the first time.A number of pieces from his writings on political economy and the history of civilisation which were not previously available in English are also included.

Beccaria's classic study On Crimes and Punishments belongs to the category of works which are much cited and little read. In Beccaria's case the reasons for this relative neglect are twofold. First, until recently even those who have attempted to read him, either in the original or in translation, have had to rely on a corrupt text. As is explained in the Note on the texts, the present edition provides the first English version of the book as it was last published and revised by Beccaria. Second, the context provided by Beccaria's other writings and those of his circle is rarely known, so that the background assumptions on which his argument rested have either appeared obscure or simply been misconstrued. As a result, Beccaria has come to be pigeon-holed as one of the founding fathers of a putative tradition of classic penal reformers, and the distinctiveness of his contribution has been recognised only rarely.
