Booker that the federal sentencing guidelines were no longer mandatory merely advisory, restoring judges' discretion in sentencing.

This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, the United States Sentencing Commission1 undertook a review of the impact on federal sentencing of the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Booker.2 In March 2006, the Commission published the results of that review in the Final Report on the Impact of United States v. Booker on Federal Sentencing.3 As part of that report, the Commission performed an analysis of data from the federal courts to examine whether differences in the length of sentences imposed on offenders were correlated with demographic characteristics of those offenders. Based on continued interest in this issue, and in response to specific requests to update its prior analysis, the Commission has now repeated the analysis used for the Booker Report with additional data and has also developed a second methodology to examine that data. This report presents the results of that work. This report focused on three separate time periods which together spanned the time between May 1, 2003, and September 30, 2009. The Commission found a correlation between the length of sentences imposed on some groups of offenders and the demographic characteristics of those offenders. These differences were not present in all time periods under study and differed in magnitude in the time periods in which they were observed.

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.
