Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cesare Beccaria advocated for a justice system that sought to rehabilitate the criminal, as he believed that punishment should be used to deter crime rather than to simply make the offender suffer. He did not advocate for a justice system that was integrated with the church or that linked crime and sin together, and while he did not believe that the causes of crime should be the primary factor in determining punishment, he did argue that the punishment should fit the crime and should not be excessively severe. Therefore, the best choice is A.
