摘要：
This Article traces the influence of Cesare Beccaria's writings on Western civilization. It explores the global impact of Beccaria's 1764 book, Dei delitti e delle pene, later translated into English as An Essay on Crimes and Punishments. In particular, the Article highlights Beccaria's advocacy for proportion between crimes and punishments and against the death penalty. The Article gives a short sketch of Beccaria's life and describes the impact of Beccaria's book and his legacy in shaping the world's laws. The Article further describes how Beccaria's role as an influential eighteenth-century economist has been neglected by some economic historians.
