Fines as a Criminal Sanction: Practices and Attitudes of Trial Court Judges in the United States, 1985
Description
These data were collected to examine the practices and
views of state trial court judges with respect to their use of fines
as a criminal sanction. Respondents were asked about the composition
of their caseloads, sentencing practices (including fines imposed for
various circumstances), available information about the offender at
time of sentencing, enforcement and collection procedures in their
courts, and their attitudes toward the use of fines. In addition to
questions concerning the judges' use of fines and other sanctions, the
questionnaire presented the judges with hypothetical cases.
