Features: This book is a work that outlines the development trajectory of criminal thought in the West from the Enlightenment to the post-World War II period, focusing on representative criminal scholars from different historical periods in the West. The book takes representative criminal scholars from different historical periods in the West (including some Enlightenment thinkers and criminologists) as its subject. It strives to be rich in content, with up-to-date and reliable materials, and a comprehensive and rational system, which is our guiding principle in writing this book. In terms of material use, the book is based on first-hand materials from abroad, including translations, and appropriately references domestic research achievements. In terms of system arrangement, the book provides a macro overview for each section in every chapter, aiming to give readers a general impression of the chapter, while the first section is mutually complementary and supplementary in content with the other sections of the chapter. In terms of writing methods, each figure is divided into three parts: a brief biography, main criminal thought, and a concise review, with a focus on criminal thought, in order to reflect the purpose of the book.
