This book was released on 2017 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), was a landmark Supreme Court Case that made the Federal Sentencing Guidelines advisory rather than mandatory. Prior to this ruling, U.S. District Judges had limited options if they wanted to sentence outside of the guidelines (also called a departure). The purpose of this study is to examine what effect, if any, an advisory guideline has had on sentence length in the District of Connecticut. It is this writer's belief that sentence lengths for the crimes prosecuted in Connecticut U.S. District Courts have dropped since the Booker ruling in 2005. The reasoning for this is, while Judges wanted some guidelines in place, they did not want to lose their ability to form appropriate sentences based on the facts presented to them. The nature of the mandatory sentencing guidelines created limitations on the Judge's ability to use their years of training and education to impose just sentences. This hypothesis was evaluated two ways. First, there was a comparison of the mean sentence length for all crimes prosecuted in the District of Connecticut prior to the Booker decision (1999-2004) and after (2006-2011). Second, there was a comparison of the mean sentence length for drug and firearm cases during the same two time periods. A third hypothesis was evaluated. Given that the guidelines were intended to create parity in sentencing it should be expected that reduction of mean sentence lengths will remain consistent during the studied timeframe for white and black defendants. The results of the data analysis showed a reduction in mean sentence length, a reduction in firearm and drug sentence length overall, and a reduction when comparing black and white sentence length. The results in this study could be used to improve sentencing outcomes for defendants who are sentenced under the guidelines.

Download or read book The Machinery of Criminal Justice written by Stephanos Bibas and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two centuries ago, American criminal justice was run primarily by laymen. Jury trials passed moral judgment on crimes, vindicated victims and innocent defendants, and denounced the guilty. But since then, lawyers have gradually taken over the process, silencing victims and defendants and, in many cases, substituting plea bargaining for the voice of the jury. The public sees little of how this assembly-line justice works, and victims and defendants have largely lost their day in court. As a result, victims rarely hear defendants express remorse and apologize, and defendants rarely receive forgiveness. This lawyerized machinery has purchased efficient, speedy processing of many cases at the price of sacrificing softer values, such as reforming defendants and healing wounded victims and relationships. In other words, the U.S. legal system has bought quantity at the price of quality, without recognizing either the trade-off or the great gulf separating lawyers' and laymen's incentives, values, and powers. In The Machinery of Criminal Justice, author Stephanos Bibas surveys the developments over the last two centuries, considers what we have lost in our quest for efficient punishment, and suggests ways to include victims, defendants, and the public once again. Ideas range from requiring convicts to work or serve in the military, to moving power from prosecutors to restorative sentencing juries. Bibas argues that doing so might cost more, but it would better serve criminal procedure's interests in denouncing crime, vindicating victims, reforming wrongdoers, and healing the relationships torn by crime.
