Jeremy Bentham on Police
No full textJeremy Bentham’s ideas on punishment are famous. Every criminology student learns about Bentham, and every criminologist contends with him, as advocate or opponent. This discourse concerns his ideas about punishment, namely with respect to legislation and the panopticon. Yet, scholars and students are generally ignorant of Bentham’s ideas on police. Hitherto, these ideas have been largely unknowable. Now, thanks to UCL’s Bentham Project, these ideas are public. Jeremy Bentham on Police celebrates this achievement by exploring the story of Bentham’s writings on police and considering their relevance to the past, present and future of criminology. After Scott Jacques introduces the book, the Director of the Bentham Project, Philip Schofield, describes and explains how it works. Then Michael Quinn, who brought together Bentham’s writings on police, delves into the personal and socio-historical background in which they were created. An extract follows, representing the most (criminologically-)relevant passages from Bentham’s police writings. Finally, a rich variety of scholars offer their thoughts on what those writings mean for criminology. These contributions come from Anthony A. Braga, Ronald Clarke, David J. Cox, Stephen Douglas, Stephen Engelmann, G. Geltner, Joel F. Harrington, Jonathan Jacobs, Paul Knepper, Gloria Laycock, Gary T. Marx, Daniel S. Nagin, Graeme R. Newman, Pat O’Malley, Eric L. Piza, Kim Rossmo, Lucia Summers and Dean Wilson

A Visit (in 1831) To Jeremy Bentham
Get PDFUpon the death of his father Jeremiah in 1792, Jeremy Bentham inherited the family home in Queen’s Square Place, Westminster. Queen’s Square Place consisted of two houses, and it was in the larger of these two residences that Bentham lived for the next forty years. Bentham referred to his abode as the Hermitage and himself as the Hermit. Despite this apparent reclusiveness, many notable statesmen, politicians, lawyers, and intellectuals visited him, although some equally prominent figures (such as Madame de Staël) were refused an audience.
This text is the most detailed account that has hitherto appeared of how Jeremy Bentham lived at Queen's Square Place, his home in Westminster, during his final years. The author, George Wheatley, visited Bentham in March 1831, and stayed with him for approximately three weeks. Six of Wheatley's letters sent to his sister during his stay, as well as six extracts from his journal, and a short commentary on John Hill Burton's 'Benthamiana', were collated and printed privately for the author by P.H. Youngman, Maldon, in about 1853. The resulting volume, 64 pages long and entitled 'A Visit (in 1830) to Jeremy Bentham' has been transcribed and lightly annotated, and is published online here for the first time. The only known copy of the text is in the possession of the Bentham Project.
The text also features an editorial introduction by Dr Kris Grint
Jeremy Bentham, a pioneer
No full textJeremy Bentham, 1748-1832, was an English philosopher and one of the founders of modern utilitarianism, and he is considered to be one of the earliest proponents of animal rights. We can consider that Jeremy Bentham is in many aspects a pioneer of animal rights. Utilitarianism is the idea that the moral worth of an action is determined solely by its utility in providing happiness or pleasure as summed among all sentient beings. Bentham described it as "the greatest happiness or greatest felicity principle" Bentham applied ethical utilitarianism to animals. He said that because animals suffer, their happiness and wellbeing is relevant.Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) fue un filósofo inglés y uno de los fundadores del utilitarismo moderno, y está considerado como uno de los primeros defensores de los derechos de los animales. Podemos considerar, por lo tanto, que Jeremy Bentham es en muchos aspectos un pionero de los derechos de los animales. El utilitarismo es la idea de que el valor moral de una acción se determina únicamente por su utilidad en la prestación de la felicidad o el placer al mayor número posible de seres sintientes. Bentham lo describió como "la mayor felicidad o principio más grande felicidad" . Bentham aplicó el utilitarismo ético a los animales.

From Jeremy Bentham to Peter Singer
No full textIntroduction In this paper I would like to compare two forms of utilitarianism: the late eighteenth-century doctrine systematized by Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and the philosophy advocated by its most visible contemporary proponent, Peter Singer (1946- ). Here is how the latter introduces the former in the headword “Ethics” of the Encyclopaedia Britannica: […] Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) is properly considered the father of modern Utilitarianism. It was he who made the Utilitarian principle se..
