Beccaria claimed that the of punishment was the most important and the of the punishment was least important.

Beccaria claimed that the swiftness of the punishment was most important and the brutality of the punishment was least important.

Explanation:

Beccaria wrote a book on Crimes and Punishments in 1764. He is considered as The Father of Criminal Justice and The Father of Deterrence Theory.He suggested in his theories to give up certain rights to the government in order to receive some protection from the government.Utilitarianism was passed at that time.It was proposed that for a given act only the law has the rights to give punishments whatever the context of the circumstance may be. This seemed to promote a significant improvement in the arbitrary."Torture must not be used" is a statement put forward by Beccaria in terms of Capital Punishment Since the equally innocent must be protected and the equally guilty must be condemned and punished.He was against the idea of the Death Penalty as it was not an efficient method and it made criminals commit very brutal acts based on the punishments they were gonna receive for the respective act. Capital Punishment was never encouraged by him.

I’d say either a or d i’m sorry if it’s incorrect.
