The authors analyze two fundamental directions of the teaching of the great italian lawyer C. Beccaria in the context of humanizing the process of proving the guilt of a criminal in relation to the use of unacceptable methods of criminal justice. At the same time, an assessment of the practice and necessity of applying the death penalty as the most severe punishment is given in a similar way. It is concluded that these areas of teaching of C. Beccaria formed the foundation of the classical school of criminal law and are represented in modern criminal legislation.
