Originally published: London: Printed for E. Newberry, 1775. viii, [iv], 179, lxxix pp. Infused with the spirit of the Enlightenment, its advocacy of crime prevention and the abolition of torture and capital punishment marked a significant advance in criminological thought, which had changed little since the Middle Ages. It had a profound influence on the development of criminal law in Europe and the United States, especially among the founding fathers. Originally published anonymously in 1764, this is a reprint of the fourth edition, which contains an additional text attributed to Voltaire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lawbook Exchange, Limited, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50242697822448,"sku":"9781584776383","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781584776383","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
