abstract="Jeremy Bentham, the father of modern utilitarianism, ranks among the most influential nineteenth century philosophers. Michael Quinn's (2019) essay, &quot;Bentham on Preventive Policing&quot;, is a reminder that, in addition, Bentham pioneered what we now call &quot;policy analysis.&quot; In so doing, the Quinn essay illustrates that policy analysis, at its best, can also be path breaking scholarship. In this response to Quinn's excellent essay, I have attempted to demonstrate how Bentham's revolutionary ideas about social justice remain as important today as they were two centuries ago.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
