Estimating Gender Disparities In Federal Criminal Cases, Sonja Starr Aug 2012

Estimating Gender Disparities In Federal Criminal Cases, Sonja Starr

Law & Economics Working Papers

This paper assesses gender disparities in federal criminal cases. It finds large gender gaps favoring women throughout the sentence length distribution (averaging over 60%), conditional on arrest offense, criminal history, and other pre-charge observables. Female arrestees are also significantly likelier to avoid charges and convictions entirely, and twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted. Prior studies have reported much smaller sentence gaps because they have ignored the role of charging, plea-bargaining, and sentencing fact-finding in producing sentences. Most studies control for endogenous severity measures that result from these earlier discretionary processes and use samples that have been winnowed by …

Crack, Congress, And The Normalization Of Federal Sentencing: Why 12,040 Federal Inmates Believe That Their Sentences Should Be Reduced, And Why They And Others Like Them May Be Right, Michael Mcneill Jul 2012

Crack, Congress, And The Normalization Of Federal Sentencing: Why 12,040 Federal Inmates Believe That Their Sentences Should Be Reduced, And Why They And Others Like Them May Be Right, Michael Mcneill

Mercer Law Review

The 1980s was a transitionary period in American history, when the general acceptance of casual drug use, which is still associated with the 1960s and 1970s, began to turn to widespread disapproval. The practice and dangers of "freebasing"-smoking cocaine that had been purified with ether and inhaled over an open flame-came into the public spotlight in 1980 when a prominent comedian immolated himself in an accident blamed on the dangerous practice. Beginning in 1984, a cheaper, more accessible form of freebase cocaine, called "crack," began growing in popularity in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. In November 1985, newspapers began …


The Legacy Of Rux V. Republic Of Sudan And The Future Of The Judicial War On Terror, Chad G. Marzen Jul 2012

The Legacy Of Rux V. Republic Of Sudan And The Future Of The Judicial War On Terror, Chad G. Marzen

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the legal battles of the families of U.S. sailors killed in the 2000 U.S.S. Cole bombing, focusing on their efforts to hold Sudan liable under the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act (FSIA) and the state sponsor of terrorism exception. It explores the procedural history of the Rux and Kumar cases, highlighting the complexities of applying the FSIA and the impact of legislative changes, such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2008, on terrorism-related litigation. The analysis underscores the challenges in balancing judicial authority with legislative intent, particularly in cases involving retroactivity and res judicata.

Taking The Stand: Access To Justice For Witnesses With Mental Disabilities In Sexual Assault Cases, Janine Benedet, Isabel Grant Jul 2012

Taking The Stand: Access To Justice For Witnesses With Mental Disabilities In Sexual Assault Cases, Janine Benedet, Isabel Grant

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

In this article the authors argue that the existing adversarial trial process often prevents the stories of sexual assault complainants with mental disabilities from being heard in court. Relying on social science evidence, the authors argue that subjecting a woman with a mental disability to a rigorous cross-examination with repeated and leading questions, in a manner that is confrontational and often accusatory, is probably the worst way to get her story heard accurately in court. It is likely to unfairly undermine her credibility and to result in unjustified acquittals or in prosecutors deciding not to pursue a case. The article …
