Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restitution is the act of restoring an individual or entity in whole or in part to the lost circumstances they might have once enjoyed. In a federal criminal context, it is the order of a sentencing court directing a defendant to reimburse or otherwise compensate the victims of his crimes. Restitution is based on the losses suffered by the victims of a crime. Neither the defendant's financial condition at the time of sentencing or his future economic prospects figure in the amount of restitution awarded. Consequently, in some cases the amount of restitution ordered may exceed what the defendant can ever reasonably be expected to pay, particularly in the case of mandatory restitution. Nevertheless, there have been suggestions that in other instances insufficient restitution has been ordered or collected because of the particularities of restitution law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited government report discusses federal offenders who were ordered to pay criminal fines and victim restitution. The objectives of this report are to: identify the percentage of offenders who were ordered to pay fines or restitution in fiscal year 1997 and those who were not, identify differences across judicial circuits and districts in the percent of offenders who were ordered to pay fines or restitution and those who were not, and provide officials' opinions about possible reasons for those differences. Also documented are changes in the rate at which offenders were ordered to pay restitution before and after the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act in 1996. In establishing the United States Sentencing Commission, Congress sought uniformity in sentencing by narrowing the wide disparity in sentences imposed for similar criminal offences committed by similar offenders. However, this report calls into question whether that goal is actually achieved and assesses the possibilities for its attainment.

Book excerpt: The federal computer fraud and abuse statute, 18 U.S.C. 1030, outlaws conduct that victimizes computer systems. It is a cyber security law which protects federal computers, bank computers, and computers connected to the Internet. It shields them from trespassing, threats, damage, espionage, and from being corruptly used as instruments of fraud. It is not a comprehensive provision, but instead it fills cracks and gaps in the protection afforded by other federal criminal laws. This report provides a brief sketch of Section 1030 and some of its federal statutory companions, including the amendments found in the Identity Theft Enforcement and Restitution Act, P.L. 110-326. Extensive appendices. This is a print on demand publication.
