What will be an ideal response?
? Montesquieu, Beccaria, and Bentham each contributed to the development of the modern philosophies of corrections. All three were founders of the classical school of criminology.
? Montesquieu advocated for the moderation of punishment.
? Beccaria advocated that punishment should be public, immediate, and necessary. He based the legitimacy of criminal sanctions on the social contract. The goal of the law according to Beccaria was the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
? Bentham believed that the law should accomplish a utilitarian purpose and that criminal sanctions served the purpose of protecting society. Ultimately the goal of punishment should be deterrence.
