Teor a De Las Penas Y De Las Recompensas, presented in four volumes, explores the philosophical and legal foundations of punishment and reward systems. Authored by Jeremy Bentham and edited by tienne Dumont, this seminal work delves into the principles of utilitarianism as applied to the administration of justice. Bentham's analysis provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how penalties and incentives can be structured to promote societal well-being and deter crime.
The book offers insights into the rational design of legal systems, examining the proportionality of punishments, the psychology of deterrence, and the ethical considerations involved in the use of state power. This Spanish edition makes Bentham's influential ideas accessible to a wider audience, continuing to spark debate on the role of law in shaping human behavior and ensuring a just society. A crucial resource for legal scholars, philosophers, and anyone interested in the intellectual history of criminal justice.
