Description ▲
Originally published: Philadelphia: James Kay, Jun. & Brother, 1833. v, 745 pp. A comprehensive system of criminal law which, while not adopted in the United States, is still influential today. The first complete penal code built on Jeremy Bentham's principles of codification, it is important not only in terms of its completeness and order, but for its emphasis on crime prevention rather than punishment.
