Book excerpt: Sentencing reform has guided criminal justice processing in federal courts since the passage of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 (hereafter, SRA 1984). Despite changes in case law and legislation, the academic and political community has been seeking to understand the persistence of unwarranted disparities, based on extra-legal factors, in the sentencing of federal offenders. Although reform resulted in safeguards against unwarranted disparities through federal sentencing guidelines, the empirical literature continues to find that offenders with similar case characteristics receive different sentences based on personal factors like gender, race, age, and other such factors. The theoretical literature of Max Weber offers some perspective. An application of Weber’s bureaucratization theory suggests that the introduction of determinate sentencing via the SRA 1984, following a period of indeterminate sentencing that was based on individualized justice, precludes the State from effectively achieving equal justice in criminal justice processing. The persistence of unwarranted disparities based on extra-legal factors is the result of a not-so-seamless transition from substantive rationalization of law (indeterminate sentencing) to legal rationalization of law (determinate sentencing). Even as governments created and implemented new rules for equal justice via case law and legislation substantive rationalization of law would persist because administrators of justice would continue to rely on personal (extra-legal) factors in decision-making. The current study examined the relationship between sentence outcomes and reform, and sought to examine the mechanisms through which unwarranted disparities based on extra-legal factors persisted. Findings reveal that extra-legal factors condition sentence outcomes, despite periods of reform meant to reduce disparities. In addition, the current study found that as new rules via case law and legislation are implemented, the hydraulic effect of discretionary power may occur between criminal justice agents for certain offenses, and that substantive rationalization of law persists in decision-making in federal courts.

Download or read book The Failed Promise of Sentencing Reform written by Michael O'Hear and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite 15 years of reform efforts, the incarceration rate in the United States remains unprecedentedly high. This book provides the first comprehensive survey of these reforms and explains why they have proven to be ineffective. After many decades of stability, the imprisonment rate in the United States quintupled between 1973 and 2003. Since then, nearly all states have adopted multiple reforms intended to reduce imprisonment, but the U.S. imprisonment rate has only decreased by a paltry 2 percent. Why have American sentencing reforms since 2000 been largely ineffective? Are tough mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenders the primary reason our prisons are always full? This book offers a fascinating assessment of the wave of sentencing reforms adopted by dozens of states as well as changes at the federal level since 2000, identifying common themes among seemingly disparate changes in sentencing policy and highlighting recent reform efforts that have been more successful and may point the way forward for the nation as a whole. In The Failed Promise of Sentencing Reform, Michael O'Hear exposes the myths that American prison sentencing reforms enacted in the 21st century have failed to have the expected effect because U.S. prisons are filled to capacity with nonviolent drug offenders as a result of the "war on drugs" or because of new laws that took away the discretion of judges and corrections officials. O'Hear then makes a convincing case for the real reasons sentencing reforms have come up short: because they exclude violent and sexual offenders, and because they rely on the discretion of officials who still have every incentive to be highly risk-averse. He also highlights how overlooking the well-being of offenders and their families in our consideration of sentencing reform has undermined efforts to effect real change.

Download or read book Sentencing Matters written by Michael Tonry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-18 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Tonry, an internationally recognized authority on criminology, offers in these pages a comprehensive overview of current research, policy developments, and practical experiences concerning sentencing and sanctions. He examines the effects of increased penalties and considers whether they have made America a safer place. Tonry contends that in order for sentencing to be fair and effective, comprehensive and defensible policies must be in place and mechanisms must exist to implement those policies. He also looks at mandatory penalties, community sanctions, and sentencing changes in other countries, and proposes sentencing policies for the twenty-first century. Sentencing has been going through reform for over twenty-five years, yet political debate on the subject has changed remarkably little. By offering a complete survey of new developments in both research and policy, Sentencing Matters is certain to spark fresh dialogue on this divisive issue.
