The Scope Of Criminal Restitution: Awarding Unliquidated Damages In Sentencing Hearings, Bradford Mank
The Scope Of Criminal Restitution: Awarding Unliquidated Damages In Sentencing Hearings, Bradford Mank
Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Criminal courts, however, are still limited in the types of restitution they may award. Typically, sentencing judges can award restitution for the whole range of liquidated damages including the value of stolen or destroyed property, medical expenses, and lost past wages.

Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations (Rico)—Securities And Commercial Fraud As Racketeering Crime After Sedima: What Is A "Pattern Of Racketeering Activity"?, Barbara Black

The objective approach requires an objective manifestation of the actor's intent before conviction is allowed. The subjective approach permits …

Faculty Articles and Other Publications
Part I of this article outlines RICO's statutory scheme, reviews the common law doctrines under which a principal may be liable for the acts of its agent and the policies behind these doctrines, and examines RICO decisions raising the issue of vicarious liability. Part II examines non-RICO federal cases and identifies relevant factors determining the appropriateness of applying respondeat superior and agency principles to federal statutes. Finally, Part III analyzes the specific provisions of RICO in light of the factors identified in Part II. The article concludes that these factors do not support the imposition of liability on defendants other …
