His work lays the foundation for modern criminal law and highlights the importance of preventing crime through enlightened principles rather than revenge or brutality.\r\n\r\nAn Essay on Crimes and Punishments is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1775.","brand":"Hansebooks GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62655922930013,"sku":"360283","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/4407\/2029\/files\/9783337442392_Cover.jpg?v=1763722825","url":"https:\/\/hansebooks.com\/products\/an-essay-on-crimes-and-punishments","provider":"Hansebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
