Methodological Issues In Court Research: Pretrial Release Decisions For Federal Defendants, Ilene H. Nagel, Robin Stryker, John Hagan

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Combining elements of “response as outcome” studies and “response as process” studies overcomes deficiencies resulting from methodological bifurcation, improves our understanding of court outcomes, and leads to theoretical transformation. Using observational and in-depth interview data to inform hypotheses and to create contextual variables, we develop and test models of the pretrial release decision for federal defendants. These models suggest that the emphasis in outcome research on defendants' ascribed status characteristics has been exaggerated. It is asserted that too little attention has been devoted to processual factors, including labeling, and to jurisdictional and organizational factors determining court outcomes.

The Legal/Extra-Legal Controversy: Judicial Decisions In Pretrial Release, Ilene H. Nagel

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This study analyzes data for state criminal defendants prosecuted in New York to determine the bases upon which judges make pretrial release decisions for these defendants. Treating statutory law as defining the category of legal variables, it finds legal factors substantially affect decisions about whether to release a defendant on recognizance, the amount of bail required, and whether to offer a defendant a cash alternative to a surety bond. The impact of these factors varies, however, depending upon the particular decision being made. Factors not prescribed in the statute-extra-legal factors—are also found to affect these pretrial release decisions. Their impact, …

Punishment, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

One fundamental question is why (and whether) the social institution of punishment is warranted. A second question concerns the necessary conditions for punishment in particular cases. A third relates to the degree of severity that is appropriate for particular offenses and offenders. Debates about punishment are important in their own right, but they also raise more general problems about the proper standards for evaluating social practices.

The main part of this theoretical overview of the subject of …

Preliminary Memorandum, Unknown

Illinois v. Gates 462 U.S. 213 (1983)

The state contends that a letter from an anonymous informer, together with corroborating circumstances, was sufficient probable cause under Aguilar for issuance of a search warrant.

This case boils down to a factual dispute over whether it is more like Spinelli or Draper. Three Illinois courts decided that the corroboration in this case did not demonstrate that a tip in an anonymous letter provided probable cause. Although the tip ultimately proved correct, there was no reason to believe that the author of the letter would tell the truth, and the police investigation revealed no criminal activity. The Illinois S Ct …
