Selectivity And Racial Bias In A Mandatory Death Sentence Dispensation: A South African Case Study, Franklin E. Zimring, Johannes Van Vuren, Jan H. Van Rooyen
Franklin E. Zimring
This contribution reports an analysis of prosecution, sentencing, and execution data for the Republic of South Africa during the late 1980s. The data are of special interest for three reasons. First, we document the operation of a judicial system that was administering a death sentence statute that was essentially a mandatory model in cases of murder. Second, the statistics show a pattern of selectivity depending on the race of a homicide victim that is as extreme as any to be found in the world literature on the death sentence. Finally, the outcome seriously challenges the constitutionality not only of the …

The Scale Of Imprisonment In The United States: Twentieth Century Patterns And Twenty-First Century Prospects, Franklin E. Zimring
The Scale Of Imprisonment In The United States: Twentieth Century Patterns And Twenty-First Century Prospects, Franklin E. Zimring
Franklin E. Zimring
The article examines imprisonment within the U.S. during the 20th century and discusses what these trends portend for imprisonment during the 21st century. The author creates a scale by which imprisonment rates and criminal statistics are evaluated. Charts and graphs are used to illustrate the growth in incarceration rates that occurred progressively throughout the 20th century. Elements such as penal law, prisons being viewed as sources of capital, and more stringent criminal justice procedures are referenced as factors that have contributed to imprisonment. Empirical methods are used to examine how prison populations will change in the 21st century.

This study uses data from the Second Philadelphia Birth Cohort to examine the natural history of sex offenders and their involvement in sexual offending through age 26.

Second, 92 percent of all the cohort males with adult sex records had no prior juvenile sex offense. Third, a boy with no sex contacts but five or more total juvenile police contacts was more than twice as likely to commit …

Kids, Guns, And Homicide: Policy Notes On An Age-Specific Epidemic, Franklin E. Zimring

Part of a special section on youth violence and gun possession. The writer examines three dimensions of the juvenile firearms use epidemic of the period since 1985.

In addition, he considers some of the data that are necessary for making intelligent choices when designing countermeasures to minors' misuse of guns and offers best guesses, given that most of the required data …
