The following comments have been left for this page: "With the Verri brothers, Beccaria traveled to Paris, where he was given a very warm reception by the philosophes. He retreated in horror, however, returning to his young wife Teresa and never venturing abroad again." He retreated in horror? Why? This needs to be filled out or taken out.

[edit] Signifcance

This article seems to gloss over the importance of Beccaria's contribution to the criminal justice system -- deterrence theory. This article needs significant work to reflect the fact that he basically came up with the concept upon which the entire Western criminal justice philosophy is based. /Blaxthos 17:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suspicious quote

The quote inserted at 14:16, 20 April 2007 by Agbook looks suspicious to me. It doesn't seem very much in the style of the time, and smells of something concocted by the pro-gun crowd.drh 21:55, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
