Abstract:

This paper investigates whether judge political affiliation contributes to racial and gender disparities in sentencing using data on over 500,000 federal defendants linked to sentencing judge. Exploiting random case assignment, we find that Republican-appointed judges sentence black defendants to 3.0 more months than similar nonblacks and female defendants to 2.0 fewer months than similar males compared to Democratic-appointed judges, 65 percent of the baseline racial sentence gap and 17 percent of the baseline gender sentence gap, respectively. These differences cannot be explained by other j

Abstract:

In order to restrict the imposition of the death penalty to an extremely narrow band of cases, the Supreme Court of India laid down the principle of ‘rarest of rare’ guiding but not fettering the sentencing discretion of judges. Despite the guidelines, the decision remains purely discretionary with its accompanying arbitrariness leading to unpredictability, and disparity in sentencing, which places a tremendous burden of responsibility on the sentencing judge. It is necessary to think of an alternative to the judge-centric discretionary death penalty, such as Sentencing Commission recommended

Abstract:

This paper explores the relationship between religion and sentencing. It considers what problems may arise when a judge fails to take proper account of a defendant's religious beliefs at the sentencing stage, or takes improper account. It highlights the need for more guidance to be given to judges in order to ensure greater consistency and fairness in sentencing outcomes.

Abstract:

Research into sentencing is undertaken from a range of theoretical, disciplinary and methodological perspectives. Each approach offers valuable insights, including a conception of the judge, sometimes explicit, often implicit. Little scholarly attention has been paid to directly interrogating the ways in which different research traditions construct the judge in the sentencing process. By investigating how different research approaches locate the judge as an actor in sentencing, theoretically and empirically, this article addresses that gap. It considers key examples of socio-legal scholarship

Abstract:

This essay, for a symposium issue of the Federal Sentencing Reporter dedicated to the impact of Judge Jack Weinstein on the occasion of his retirement from the federal bench, highlights how Judge Weinstein has re-imagined the role of the district court judge. Through his judicial opinions, extrajudicial writings and speeches, and his innovative use of the court’s supervisory authority, Judge Weinstein has challenged, and in some cases altered, the status quo in the realm of criminal sentencing. In doing so, he has established a forceful example of how district court judges can use their positi

Abstract:

Although this article applauds many of the criticisms of sentencing practices contained in Judge Marvin Frankel’s influential book, Criminal Sentences: Law Without Order, it maintains that the reforms he championed failed to advance the goal of greater certainty in sentencing. Moreover, these reforms concentrated discretion in hands of prosecutors, who were less likely to exercise their discretion wisely than the judges and other officials whose powers were curbed, and the reforms increased the pressure on defendants to waive their rights. The article describes how Frankel-backed reforms contr

Abstract:

Sentencing offenders for multiple offences can be a complicated task with various competing demands placed on the sentencing judge. The principle of totality seeks to ensure that the overall criminality of the offending behaviour is reflected in the ultimate sentence. Judges normally achieve this by making some or all of the sentences concurrent or by reducing the length of each individual sentence. In approaching this task, what role does the ‘headline’ or ‘lead’ offence have and how does it assist the judge to arrive at a ‘just and proportionate’ sentence? This case comment examines the refe

This article presents the perceptions of Indonesian Judges in sentencing minor drug offenders. The judge holds a central role in the sentencing process, and because of the judicial discretion they can use it is essential to understand how judges come to their sentencing decisions. To develop an understanding of how judges perceive their actions in decision-making and sentencing of drug users, a total of 31 participants were interviewed. The data demonstrated that justice is presented as conditional, depending on various influencing factors that are primarily, though not entirely, one of tensio

In Canada, we regularly incarcerate accused persons while they are still legally innocent. By the turn of the century, the growing number of accused held in pre-sentence custody had become a concern for provincial/territorial governments, and, by extension, the federal government. In an effort to address the problem, Bill C-25 - ‘The Truth in Sentencing Act’ - was passed into law. Adopting a quantitative as well as qualitative methodology, this study uses a randomly selected sample of 110 cases to examine the implementation of Bill C-25 as a case study of how Canadian judges respond to legisla

Four key themes emerged from the data: provocation; domestic violence; the sentencing of Aboriginal offenders; and the use of alcohol and/or drugs as a contributing factor to the offence.

The main objective of the study was to determine whether differences in the structure of the sentencing discretion of judges of customary and magistrate courts as regards the types and combinations of punishments they may impose in respect of any offence triable in either type of court resulted in the imposition of unjustifiably dissimilar punishments for similar offences.

Why do judges convict some defendants in corruption cases and not others? Why do judges apply harsher sentences to some defendants than others?

Abstract The imposition of punishment is a judicial exercise. This is a clearly a requirement of procedural fairness. At the same time, the role of the judge at sentencing is of central importance to the characterization of punishment as lawful or just. There might be said to be consensus that the rule of law is dependent on some form of adjudication. The nature and extent of the judicial power to interpret the law is nevertheless very much contested. This conflict at the heart of the judicial role between activism and restraint in the interpretation of the law takes on particular resonance at

Abstract A sentencing system in which there were no controls on how the judge or magistrate came to a decision on sentence would not be a principled system. It could also lead to injustice in individual cases. This chapter examines the ways in which sentencing discretion is constrained, not only through law and guidance but also through the use of a justificatory principle as a constraint. In particular it reviews the way that more recent forms of sentencing guidance have developed, notably the definitive guidelines produced by the Sentencing Council. It also discusses in detail the importance

Non-custodial sentences are those that do not include imprisonment, such as discharges, fines and community orders. When sentencing an individual, criminal courts judge whether an offence is serious enough to impose a custodial sentence (either immediate imprisonment or a suspended sentence) or a non-custodial sentence. Criminal justice is devolved, so this POSTnote focuses on non-custodial sentences in England and Wales. In the year ending June 2019, 90% of sentences in England and Wales were non-custodial.
