Excerpt from Théorie des Peines Et des Récompenses, Vol. 1: Extraits des Manuscrits de Jérémie Bentham
Lorsque je publiai, à Paris, en 1802, les Traités de législation civile et pénale, en trois volumes j'annonçai divers écrits du même genre, que avais rédigés de la même maniere, d'après les manuscrits de M. Bentham mais qui n'étaient pas encore en état de paraitre.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the principles of punishment and reward, as discussed by the influential philosopher and legal theorist Jeremy Bentham. Written in the late 18th century, Bentham's ideas on crime and punishment remain highly relevant today, offering a framework for understanding the role of penalties and incentives in shaping human behavior. The author delves into the complexities of defining punishment, distinguishing it from other forms of harm. Bentham argues that the primary goal of punishment should be to prevent future offenses, and he examines various types of punishments, including corporal, pecuniary, and capital penalties. The book also explores the importance of proportionality in sentencing, ensuring that the severity of the punishment fits the nature of the crime. Bentham emphasizes the need for punishments to be divisible, certain, and commensurate, and he discusses the role of analogy and exemplarity in making punishments effective. By examining the principles that should guide the design and implementation of punishment and reward systems, this book provides valuable insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and anyone interested in the philosophy of law and criminology.
