Synopsis

This book delves into the principles of morality, legislation, and punishment. The author examines cases where punishment is groundless, inefficacious, unprofitable, or needless, and provides properties that should be given to a lot of punishment. The author argues that punishment should be proportionate to the offense and should be designed to deter future offenses. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of law and punishment, and its insights remain relevant today....
