Sentencing Outcomes in 28 Felony Courts, 1985 [United States]
The purposes of this study are to describe sentencing
outcomes in felony courts for selected serious offenses--homicide,
rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, and drug
trafficking--and to establish a statistical series on sentencing
outcomes in felony courts throughout the United States. The
jurisdictions consist of cities and counties with an average
population of 1.1 million. Among the jurisdictions, the
sentencing schemes available varied, with both determinate and
indeterminate sentencing practices in operation. The study
distinguishes between core informational items such as criminal
charges, type of sentence imposed and terms of the prison
sentence, and optional items such as characteristics of the
offense and the defendant, and how the case was processed.
