bl From: bhv@areaplg2.corp.mot.com ( Bronis Vidugiris ) Date: Wed, 27 Jul 1994 17:27:36 GMT In some post which seems to have disappeared from my spool, there were some comments about how the prison system treats women (murderers in particular). Here is some data on the topic. It's slightly out of date (1986) - the big problem was getting prison composition data. (Unfortunately, this has been changing, so the out-of-datedness could well change the figures. It's the most recent data I could find though - getting prison composition data is the problem here.) Perps (NCS data) Prison Composition Crime Male Female Unknown Male Female Rape 95.0 1.7 3.3 99.8 .3 Simple Assault 83.9 15.7 .4 Aggravated Assault 87.2 12.1 .6 96.2 3.8 Robbery 87.0 11.1 1.9 97.8 2.3 Murder* 85.8 13.5 .6 95.0 5.1 *UCR data The conclusion, in a generic sense, which follows is that women are underrepresented in prison for a broad spectrum of violent crimes, including murder. Murder is a particularly tricky issue. It's hard to tell how much to trust police reports. I think that the bias of the justice system as a whole is best addressed by looking at other crimes where data by the victim is available, and assuming similar biases apply to murder. YMMV - but there seems to be no objective way to determine the true facts in a murder case.

Main July 21, 2005 McIntosh Family Crime Stats Top 10 murder rates by city (per 100,000 population): Regina Billy Jack Bird pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the vicious beating death of 71- year-old Selina Nellie McIntosh and aggravated assault for the attack that left George Alexander McIntosh, 74, in a coma. He has never regained consciousness. "It is incomprehensible how such violence could be directed to these kind and gentle people," Court of Queen's Bench Justice Ellen Gunn said, in accepting the joint recommendation of life in prison with no chance for parole for 20 years on the second-degree murder conviction. Bird will serve a 10-year concurrent sentence for aggravated assault. Recounting the facts of the case in court, Crown prosecutor Kim Jones said George had been giving money to people in the couple's North Central neighbourhood for about two years, "out of kindness or attempts not to be bothered," and had given Bird $800 a few days before the attack. On July 1, 2004, Bird went to the couple's Princess Street house to ask for more money and became enraged when George refused to give it to him. Court heard that Bird "snapped," ripped the phone out of the wall and hit the elderly man until he was unconscious. When Selina entered the room, Bird began a vicious beating that continued in almost every room in the house, the court was told. Bird then removed the woman's pants and underwear and masturbated above her body in what Jones called "an act of utter disrespect."

In 2002, 69% of all felons convicted in State courts were sentenced to a period of confinement - 41% to State prisons and 28% to local jails. Jail sentences are for short-term confinement (usually for a year or less) in a county or city facility, while prison sentences are for long-term confinement (usually for over a year) in a State facility. State courts sentenced 31% of convicted felons to straight probation with no jail or prison time to serve. Felons sentenced to a State prison in 2002 had an average sentence of 4 1/2 years but were likely to serve 51% of that sentence - or just 2 1/4 years - before release, assuming that 2002 release policies continue in effect.

Booker Fanfan Research Products and Special Projects Fifteen Years of Guidelines Sentencing: An Assessment of How Well the Federal Criminal Justice System Is Achieving the Goals of Sentencing Reform . This study is a comprehensive review of the research literature and sentencing data to assess how well the guidelines have achieved the goals for sentencing reform established by Congress in the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984. These goals include increased certainty and transparency of sentences, increased severity of sentences for certain types of serious crimes, and reduced sentencing disparity, including racial and ethnic disparity. Measuring Recidivism: The Criminal History Computation of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines . The first release in the Research Series on the Recidivism of Federal Offenders, this report examines in detail the predictive statistical power of the Chapter Four Criminal History guidelines. The study uses pre-conviction and instant offense information for a sample of guideline federal offenders sentenced in fiscal year 1992, matched with their post-sentencing criminal behavior collected from FBI records. Both tabular and statistical models of recidivism outcomes report findings by criminal history category and point groupings, as well as by offender demographics, instant offense characteristics, and recidivating offense types.

Tuesday, September 20, 2005 Click to go to National Association of Sentencing Advocates IV. CRIME, CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICIES AND INCARCERATION As one might expect, the number of people disenfranchised reflects to some extent the number of people involved in criminal activity. But the proportion of the population that is disenfranchised has been exacerbated in recent years by the advent of harsh sentencing policies such as mandatory minimum The impact of changed sentencing policies is readily apparent from Department of Justice data. For example, persons arrested for burglary had a 53 percent greater likelihood of being sentenced to prison in 1992 than in 1980, while those arrested for larceny experienced a 100 percent increase. The most dramatic change can be seen for drug offenses, where arrestees were almost five times as likely to be sent to prison in 1992 as in 1980.28 In addition, since the number of drug arrests nearly doubled during this period, the impact was magnified further.29 Over this same twelve-year period, the rate of incarceration in prisons rosefrom 139 to 332 per 100,000 U.S. residents.30 Eighty-four percent of the increase in state prison admissions during this period was due to incarceration of nonviolent offenders.31 Racially Disproportionate Incarceration Rates If current rates of incarceration remain unchanged, 28.5 percent of black men will be confined in prison at least once during their lifetime, a figure six times greater than that for white men.36 As a result, nearly three in ten adult African American men will be temporarily or permanently deprived of the right to vote. But the total numbers of disenfranchised will be greater because, as noted above, it will include a substantial percentage of those convicted of a felony but not receiving a prison sentence (e.g., sentenced to probation). In states that disenfranchise ex-felons, we estimate that 40 percent of the next generation of black men is likely to lose permanently the right to vote.37

Removing youths from societyeven when incarceration included job trainingappeared to negatively affect their ability to find employment when released. Among youths who received alter-native sentences, their rates of recidivism were affected by judges' and social workers' attitudes and communication abilities. Low recidivism rates were positively correlated with officials' beliefs in their clients' rehabilitation and their ability to communicate supportively with offenders.

Her alleged assailant, Richard Allen Davis, had been sentenced to sixteen years in prison for kidnapping, but was released in June after serving only eight years of that sentence. Case #2: Michael Jordan's father, James Jordan, was fatally shot in the chest on Interstate 95 in North Carolina on July 23, 1993. Charged with the murder were Larry Martin Demery and Daniel Andre Green. Demery had been charged in three previous cases involving theft, robbery, and forgery. He was awaiting trial for bashing a convenience-store clerk in the head with a cinder block during a robbery. Green had been paroled after serving two years of a six- year sentence for attempting to kill a man by smashing him in the head with an axe, leaving his victim in a coma for three months. Americans are scared, and they are angry. The scary orgy of violent crime has made average citizens afraid to walk the streets in front of their homes. And this fear has fueled a public cry to end the killing fields in America. Americans have had enough, and they want to know why known criminals were let back out on the streets so they could kill Polly Klaas and James Jordan.
