Penal Code Citations: Sentencing in 18 American Felony Courts, 1983
Description
The purpose of this study was to describe sentencing
outcomes in 18 jurisdictions across the United States based on
sentences actually imposed on adjudicated felons. Such descriptive
information provides an overview of how sentencing is operating in a
jurisdiction as a whole and supplies a baseline against which the
impact of changes in sentencing codes and practices can be
assessed. The data focus on sentences handed down in courts of general
jurisdiction for selected crimes of homicide, rape, robbery,
aggravated assault, burglary, theft, and drug trafficking.
