Crime and Justice Atlas The National Institute of Justice and the Corrections Program Office asked JRSA to prepare a statistical document featuring trends in crime, sentencing and corrections for the Sentencing and Corrections Challenges: National Workshop in July 1998. The result was the Crime and Justice Atlas Crime and Justice Atlas are available from JRSA. An update to the Atlas was produced for the 1999 Sentencing and Corrections Challenges: National Workshop II. The Crime and Justice Atlas: 1999 Update depicts changes in violent crime rates and arrest rates and arrest rates for violent crimes committed by juveniles from 1992-1997. The 1999 Update also shows trends in new court commitments, prisoners confined, and releases from state prisons from 1980-1997. Included in the Update is a summary of crime legislation passed by the states in 1998. A limited number of copies of the Crime and Justice Atlas: 1999 Update are available from JRSA. In June of 2000, NIJ and CPO held their third National Workshop on Sentencing and Corrections Challenges. For this workshop, JRSA prepared the Crime and Justice Atlas 2000 . In addition to updated data on state and national trends in crime, sentencing and corrections, the 2000 Atlas contains a series of graphs depicting long-term (30-100 year) trends in crime and sentencing, along with a series of policy papers on a variety of topics written by experts in sentencing and corrections.

Subscribe to The Republic Critical gaps exist in crime statistics Robert Robb Republic columnist Aug. 12, 2005 12:00 AM Crime may be re-emerging as a political issue in Arizona. The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission recently issued a report indicating that Arizona has the highest crime rate in the country. That's disturbing, but not really as bad as the headline suggests. advertisement OAS_AD('BoxAd') The crime rate in Arizona has actually been going down, by 17 percent from 1993 to 2003. But the national crime rate went down even more, by 25 percent. Moreover, Arizona's super-high ranking is primarily as a result of property crime, and that is primarily as a result of car thefts, for which the Arizona rate is more than twice the national average. Both the state and national decline in crime rates coincided with an increase in the number of people going to prison. This would certainly seem to support the incapacitation theory of crime prevention.

T he E FFECTIVE N ATIONAL D RUG C ONTROL S TRATEGY GOAL NUMBER TWO: REDUCE THE HARM CAUSED BY THE "WAR ON DRUGS" OBJECTIVE: MAKE CRIMINAL PENALTIES FIT THE SEVERITY OF THE CRIME Rationale: The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 radically changed sentencing in drug cases. The new law required judges to sentence individuals based on mandatory guidelines, eliminating most judicial discretion. Congress enacted mandatory sentencing statutes as part of the Omnibus Drug Control Act of 1986. Federal judges have strongly opposed mandatory sentencing as have many other law enforcement experts. In fact, every judicial circuit, as well as the Criminal Law Committee of the Judicial Conference and the Federal Courts Study Commission have opposed mandatory minimum sentencing. The combination of stringent guidelines and mandatory sentencing along with similar harsh sentencing penalties adopted by most states has produced a burgeoning rate of incarceration in the United States. Prisons should be a solution of last resort. Addiction is a disease, and no disease, whether it is cancer or addiction, is effectively treated by incarceration. Moreover, our nation's addiction to prison building has contributed to declines in education spending in many states and undermines the global competitiveness of our country. Recommendation 1: End mandatory minimum sentencing (statutory and guideline).

Attitudes to Crime and Punishment: A New Zealand Study Foreword Acknowledgements Executive Summary ... Appendices Executive Summary Introduction This report presents the findings from the first comprehensive national survey of the views of a sample of New Zealanders about crime and the criminal justice system’s response to crime. A random sample of 1500 adult New Zealanders responded to a range of questions about the relative seriousness of some crimes, the aims of sentencing, and their preferred choices of sentence for some crimes. People were also questioned about their knowledge of some crime and criminal justice statistics and their ratings of some criminal justice professionals. Knowledge about crime and the criminal justice system Those surveyed tended to have an inaccurate and negative view of crime statistics and to underestimate the lengths of sentences imposed on offenders. Survey respondents perceived there to be higher levels of crime than national figures suggest. The overwhelming majority (83%) of the sample wrongly believed that the crime rate had been increasing over the two years prior to the survey. Survey respondents substantially overestimated both violent crime and property crime statistics. Two-thirds believed that at least half of all the crime reported to the police involved violence or the threat of violence, yet police statistics show that the figure is nearer to 9%. Two-thirds of those surveyed overestimated the likelihood of a New Zealand household being burgled. Only 15% came close to the actual figure of approximately one in every 14 households burgled annually.

A random sample of 1,500 New Zealanders aged 18 years and over responded to a range of questions about crime and punishment.　 The overall aim of the survey was to assess the public’s attitudes towards and knowledge about crime and the criminal justice system. More specifically, we wanted to assess the public’s knowledge about crime trends and some aspects of the criminal justice system, their perception of the performance of some professional groups working within the criminal justice system, their perceptions of the relative seriousness of some crimes, their preferred sentences for some crimes and their perceptions of the aims of sentencing. In this final chapter, we set out the salient findings of the survey and discuss them in relation to each of the objectives.

Return Home Sentencing of Corporate Fraud and White Collar Crime by Paul Rosenzweig Testimony Good morning Judge Murphy and Members of the Commission.Thank you for the opportunity to testify on the proposed amendment regarding corporate fraud and, more generally, about the nature of white-collar crime sentencing. White Collar Crime, Business Fraud, and Regulatory Fraud The proposal before the Commission would (as did the emergency amendment) add two new levels to the loss table in section 2B1.1 at the top end, providing for even greater penalties for frauds involving more than $200 and $400 million respectively.It would also make permanent various new provisions enhancing penalties when the fraud in question affects a large number of victims, involves a director or officers of a publicly traded company, or substantially endangers the safety and soundness of a financial institution, a public company, or a large private company. all With all due respect to the Department, I believe that the alternative it urges, embodied in the options proposed for consideration by the Commission, misread Congressional intent in enacting Sarbanes-Oxley.

Ad - International Jock: Fashion Underwear August 04, 2005 Hate Crime, Statistics and Apathy Published in The Letter August 2005 Issue By Patrick Yaeger In the Fall of 1987, Chuck Rosenfield and his boyfriend, both in their twenties, bought and moved into what they considered their share of the American dream. Theirs was a cape cod style four bedroom on a street sandwiched between, what was then, the separate cities of Shivley and Louisville in Jefferson County, Kentucky. They were thrilled with their new home together and began readying it for visiting friends and family. But when school let out for the Summer in 1988, a neighborhood gang of juveniles began trespassing through their property, sometimes looking in the windows. When the couple spoke up and asked the youth to stop, the intrusions only grew worse. Fences locked were climbed and damaged, a rock was thrown through the front window, and one youth even mentioned using a Molotov cocktail to 'burn them out'. Chuck and his partner began keeping a shotgun near the bed at night. When the Jefferson County Police were called regarding the vandalism, the officer who responded didn't seem sympathetic. “Well, you are two men living in a house together...,” Chuck recalls him saying. There was no investigation. They sold their dream home in the Spring of 1989.

Pros Supporters of mandatory minimums view it as a way to deter drug distribution and use by extending the time that a criminal is incarcerated therefore preventing them from committing more drug-related crimes. One reason mandatory sentencing guidelines are established is to increase sentencing uniformity to guarantee that defendants, who commit similar crimes and have similar criminal backgrounds, receive similar sentences. Mandatory guidelines for sentencing greatly curtail judges' sentencing discretion.

DOES MANDATORY SENTENCING OFFER 'A FAIR GO'? Just Comment - Volume 3 Number 8, 2000 What does mandatory sentencing mean? Mandatory sentencing means that persons convicted of property offences go straight to jail. Sentencing is automatic. Judges and the court system cannot use their discretion. Each case is treated in the same way and specific circumstances are not considered. By 1996 Mandatory sentencing had became law in the Northern Territory and Western Australia and the laws in other states were being reviewed. In recent years there have been several high profile court cases where judges are thought to have been too lenient and therefore not serving the public interest. Mandatory sentencing appeals to many people because it gives the same sentence to all offenders, and justice therefore appears to be served. Many politicians have offered mandatory sentencing as a solution to the public perception of rising crime rates and threats to property and public order. Law and order campaigns (eg NSW State government March 1999 election campaign) promoted by elements in the media, especially talk back radio hosts, have advocated for more police, more powers, and more prisons, with some impact. A Newspoll in 1999 reported that 56% of Australians were in favour of mandatory sentencing. The Northern Territory's Chief Minister Denis Burke has stated "how many chances do people need, juveniles included, to learn the difference between right and wrong" (

Contact Us Robert Marshall Wed, August 10, 2005 Apathy and fear skew crime stats By Robert Marshall A couple of weeks ago I suggested caution when interpreting the latest bunch of crime stats. That the man on the street ought not blindly accept the government line indicating they have control of the crime problem in this country. That the public shouldn't buy the rhetoric offered by the likes of Liberal MP Paul Devillers who spoke of the public "misconception" concerning violent crime in this country. In debates accessible to the public Devillers tries to sell that, based on official Government of Canada statistics, violent crime is on the decline. He completely ignored the fact that many violent crimes go unreported for reasons of fear or apathy. For example, most well-reasoned studies conclude that the vast majority of sexual assaults are never reported and some imply that as many as 95% of all rapes never come to the attention of authorities. So do the government numbers proclaiming a 2% reduction in violent crime for 2004 really mean anything?
