Crime Control. This paper is a brief introduction to crime control and history. Crime has always been a major dent on human civilization and its solution has remained a focus of great minds. Beccaria of the middle 18th century wrote an essay on crime and punishments in 1764, where he highly criticized an arbitrary system of punishments in the Italian courts. His ideas centered more on prevention than punishment and urged that punishment should be prompt and proportionate (Anonymous) and decided by the legislature. On the other hand, Jeremy Bentham wrote an Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation in 1780, wherein he maintained that punishment had a deterrent effect on crime.
