Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial disparities throughout the Federal Prison System are perhaps more apparent today than ever largely due to the fact that people are becoming increasingly cognizant of disproportionate sentencing for various types of crimes, most notably for crack cocaine versus powder cocaine offenses established under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Regardless of their legal origins, or who or what is most responsible for their continued utilization, the uses of disproportionate sentences for similar offenses are part of an alarming trend occurring in our criminal justice system. It is crucial, therefore, to have a better understanding of the magnitude of this problem, both academically, and statistically, so that further efforts can be made to reduce and or prevent this trend from continuing and causing additional devastation. The purpose of this research was to determine if retroactive crack cocaine federal sentencing reforms have been effective in reducing racial disparity rates in the Federal Prison System. A collection of literature, combined with comparison T-tests of federal sentencing data, was analyzed to compare disparity rates before and after the sentencing reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook on Punishment Decisions: Locations of Disparity provides a comprehensive assessment of the current knowledge on sites of disparity in punishment decision-making. This collection of essays and reports of original research defines disparity broadly to include the intersection of race/ethnicity, gender, age, citizenship/immigration status, and socioeconomic status, and it examines dimensions such as how pretrial or guilty plea processes shape exposure to punishment, how different types of sentencing decisions and/or policy structures (sentencing guidelines, mandatory minimums, risk assessment tools) might shape and condition disparity, and how post-sentencing decisions involving probation and parole contribute to inequalities. The sixteen contributions pull together what we know and what we don’t about punishment decision-making and plow new ground for further advances in the field. The ASC Division on Corrections & Sentencing Handbook Series publishes volumes on topics ranging from violence risk assessment to specialty courts for drug users, veterans, or people with mental illness. Each thematic volume focuses on a single topical issue that intersects with corrections and sentencing research.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

Download or read book Extralegal Disparities in the Sentencing of Federal Fraud Offenders written by Mark Speers and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims to examine the main and combined effects of gender and race on the odds of incarceration and downward departure for fraud offenders processed in federal courts during the fiscal year 2015-2016. Data was obtained from the United States Sentencing Commission's Monitoring of Federal Criminal Sentences dataset. A sequence of multilevel logistic regressions is performed to elucidate the main and combined effects of race and gender on the decision to incarcerate and depart downward from the federal sentencing guidelines. Findings attest to the importance of studying the interaction of extralegal characteristics in studies of sentencing disparities. Black males were the only race-gender subgroup to experience a statistically significant disparity in the odds of incarceration compared to White males. Additionally, findings reveal significant inter-district disparity in the odds of incarceration and downward departure receipt. Future qualitative and quantitative research avenues for sentencing research are discussed in light of prior research and the findings of this study.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance" is an annual series of volumes that publishes scholarly work in criminology and criminal justice studies, sociology of law, and the sociology of deviance and social control. These are very broad topics, and the series reflects this breadth. The series includes theoretical contributions, critical reviews of literature, empirical research, and methodological innovations. The series especially showcases "big picture" pieces that review and critically reconceptualize what is known and what remains to be understood about broad directions of research and theorizing about crime, justice, law, deviance, and social control. In addition, the series showcases a diversity of methodological approaches. "Volume 2" demonstrates such methodological diversity by presenting quantitative studies, ethnographies and discourse analyses. Through an application of these methodologies, the authors examine sanctions, crime and fear and legal and social control organizations and processes. The volume concludes with four chapters contributing to theory development.
