Book Chapter
Criminal Entryways in the Writing of Cesare Beccaria
2017
Overview
Cesare Beccaria is often cited as the forebear of modern criminology, who advocated for a rationalized criminal justice system. As is well known, responding to tyrannical, inconsistent, vengeful, and arbitrary punishments for criminal behavior during his time, Beccaria introduced utilitarian and contractarian principles into his call for legal reform. This chapter will argue that on top of these important contributions, Beccaria sought to change the procedures, techniques, and rationalities that channeled people into criminal justice arenas. That is, this chapter argues that Beccaria was also interested in transforming how the criminal justice system defined and selected criminal subjects. By so interpreting Beccaria, it explores his rational approach to criminal entryways as indicative of modern sovereignty politics.
