The pardon is an act of mercy, tied to the divine right of kings. Why did New York retain this mode of discretionary justice after the Revolution? And how did governors’ use of this prerogative change with the advent of the penitentiary and the introduction of parole? This book answers these questions by mining previously unexplored evidence held in official pardon registers, clemency files, prisoner aid association reports and parole records. This is the first book to analyze the histories of mercy and parole through the same lens, as related but distinct forms of discretionary decision-making. It draws on governors’ public papers and private correspondence to probe their approach to clemency, and it uses qualitative and quantitative methods to profile petitions for mercy, highlighting controversial cases that stirred public debate. Political pressure to render the use of discretion more certain and less personal grew stronger over the nineteenth century, peaking during constitutional conventionsand reaching its height in the Progressive Era. Yet, New York’s legislators left the power to pardon in the governor’s hands, where it remains today. Unlike previous works that portray parole as the successor to the pardon, this book shows that reliance upon and faith in discretion has proven remarkably resilient, even in the state that led the world toward penal modernity.

This anthology presents articles on various aspects of discretionary decisionmaking in the administration of justice. Discretionary justice suggests latitude of decisionmaking rather than formality or certainty, and unlike the symbolic idea of due process, it suggests that idiosyncrasy rather than rules may guide decisionmaking within the administration of criminal justice at all levels of the police, court, and penal systems. The relationship between forms of discretion and the criminal justice system is explored. The role of discretion at the arrest, prosecution, and sentencing levels as well as within the framework of correctional institutions is examined. The development of the discretionary ethic is discussed, and the severity and legality of its application in criminal justice procedures are examined. Discretion on the part of the police is covered, with special attention to legal norms and discretion in the police sentencing processes, factors in police discretion and decisionmaking, and administrative problems in controlling the exercise of police authority. An approach to the legal control of police in terms of discretionary powers is presented. The role of prosecutorial discretion is underscored; the application of discretion during charging and plea bargaining processes is examined, and means for controlling prosecutorial discretion are discussed. Judicial discretion during sentencing is also examined, with attention to pretrial decisionmaking, the growth and consequences of sentencing discretion, and contemporary sentencing proposals. Finally, the application of discretionary powers within the prison environment is summarized; decisionmaking within the prison community, the control of discretionary powers of prison organizations, the use of discretion in determining the severity of punishment for incarcerated offenders, and discretion within the parole bureaucracies decisionmaking process are discussed.

Qualities of Mercy deals with the history of mercy, the remittance of punishments in the criminal law. The writers probe the discretionary use of power and inquire how it has been exercised to spare convicted criminals from the full might of the law. Drawing on the history of England, Canada, and Australia in periods when both capital and corporal punishment were still practised, they show that contrary to common assumptions the past was not a time of unmitigated terror and they ask what inspired restraint in punishment. They conclude that the ability to decide who lived and died -- through the exercise or denial of mercy -- reinforced the power structure.

Juvenile drug courts are on the rise in the United States, as a result of a favorable political climate and justice officials' endorsement of the therapeutic jurisprudence movement--the concept of combining therapeutic care with correctional discipline. The goal is to divert nonviolent youth drug offenders into addiction treatment instead of long-term incarceration. Discretionary Justice overviews the system, taking readers behind the scenes of the juvenile drug court. Based on fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork and interviews at a California court, Leslie Paik explores the staff's decision-making practices in assessing the youths' cases, concentrating on the way accountability and noncompliance are assessed. Using the concept of "workability," Paik demonstrates how compliance, and what is seen by staff as "noncompliance," are the constructed results of staff decisions, fluctuating budgets, and sometimes questionable drug test results. While these courts largely focus on holding youths responsible for their actions, this book underscores the social factors that shape how staff members view progress in the court. Paik also emphasizes the perspectives of children and parents. Given the growing emphasis on individual responsibility in other settings, such as schools and public welfare agencies, Paik's findings are relevant outside the juvenile justice system.
