Presentence detention in U.S. District Courts: the effects of race/ethnicity, gender, and social contextAnderson, Jamilya January 1900 (has links)
Master of Arts / Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work / Mario V. Cano / Despite the substantial research conducted on racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system, the majority of research focuses on final sentencing decisions. Less attention has been devoted to earlier stages in criminal processing, such as the presentence detention process. In fact, the analyses that did investigate presentence detention status mainly used state-level data, and there is only a handful of studies that have examined race/ethnicity and gender effects on detention and bail in the federal criminal justice system (e.g., Albonetti, 1989; Bak, 1998: Reitler, et. al., 2012; Spohn, 2009). Furthermore, recent analyses have uncovered that extralegal disparities in presentence detention outcomes, particularly racial and ethnic disparities, vary across court jurisdictions (e.g., Levin, 2008; Pinchevski & Steiner, 2013; Eisenstein & Jacob, 1977). Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the effects of defendants’ race/ethnicity and gender, and social context, on defendants’ pretrial status. This study employs a multilevel modeling strategy and uses criminal sentencing data (N=130,120) from the U.S. Sentencing Commission (USSC) for fiscal years 2008 to 2010, across 89 U.S. District Courts, including supplemental data drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Federal Judicial Center’s Federal Court Management Statistics. The initial findings indicate that Black and Hispanic defendants are less likely than Whites, and females are more likely than males, to be released on bail and rereleased on their own recognizance (ROR). Regarding the district level, ROR is less likely for defendants processed in districts with a higher crime rate and higher socioeconomic disadvantage. On the other hand, bail is more likely for defendants processed in districts with larger courts (more judges). In cross-level interactions increase in percent Black, increase in crime rate, and increase in socioeconomic disadvantage are positively associated with bail for Black defendants, while increase in percent Hispanic and court size are positively associated with bail for Hispanic defendants. Consistent with the courts as communities and focal concerns perspectives, this study found that the presentence process is influenced by local practices, norms, and concerns for organizational efficiency. These distinctive features of court jurisdictions interact with race/ethnicity and affect defendants' presentence status. Future research is needed to better assess the detention process with increased access to federal data. In addition, examination of intersectionality of race/ethnicity, gender and age at the presentence detention stage is required.

Penologiese ondersoek rakende voorvonnisevaluering / Penological investigation concerning a presentence evaluationDe Villiers, Elizabeth Ann 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie verhandeling is 'n poging om 'n teoretiese-prinsipiele uiteensetting te gee omtrent voorvonnisevaluering vanuit 'n penologiese gesigspunt.
Met voorvonnisevalueringsverslae word daar gepoog om op 'n sinlike manier beide
positiewe en negatiewe elemente van die individuele oortreder se persoonlike- en
maatskaplike agtergrond en huidige situasie aan die lig te bring naamlik kenmerke
van sy gedragspatrone sowel van sy sterk en swak eienskappe.
Die hoofdoel van voorvonnisevalueringsverslae en voorvonnisondersoeke is om
regters, landdroste en howe behulpsaam te wees met die bepaling van 'n gepaste
en ge"individualiseerde straf. Sonder basiese en deeglike kennis van die oortreder
as persoon sal enige verhoorhof in die duister 'n vonnis ople en die kanse vir 'n
gepaste straf sal skraal wees. Benewens die wesenlike groei en belangstelling in
voorvonnisevelueringsverslae wat deur proefbeamptes of korrektiewe beamptes
voorberei word pleit verskeie skrywers vir die gebruikmaking van hierdie evalueringsverslae
in die strafregsplegingstelsel veral wat betref jeugdiges, eerste
oortreders en ernstige oortreders. / The dissertation will attempt a theoretic fundamental exposition of the role of the
presentence evaluation as seen from a penological perspective.
With presentence evaluation they attempt to take into consideration the positive as
well as the negative elements which are present in the individual's personal and
social background for example their day-to-day behaviour.
The main purpose of the presentence evaluation report and presentence investigation
is to aid the judges, prosecutors and the court in determining a suitable and
individualized punishment. Without basic and complete knowledge of the offender
as a person the court will not be able to deliver fair judgements and the changes that
a suitable punishment will be given is limited. Due to a positive interest in this
presentence evaluation report several writers insist of making use of this evaluation
report in the criminal law justice system especially where youth, first time offenders
and major offenders are concerned. / Penology / M.A. (Penologie)
