The sentencing guidelines written by the U.S. Sentencing Commission for the federal crime courts were designed to lead to uniform the just punishments for convicted criminals. How well did the Commission's judgments about what were just punishments compare to the view of the American public? Using data from a 1994 national household survey, the authors compare the punishments described by the Commission to those desired by the public. Contrary to the frequency claims of excessive leniency on the part of judges that are often asserted by journalists and shapers of opinions, Rossi and Berk find strong correspondence between the median sentences deemed appropriate by the public and the sentences prescribed by the guidelines. Although the authors conclude that the Commission was able to match prescribed punishments closely to the American consensus for most crimes, in one category -- drug trafficking offenses -- the guidelines were much harsher in dealing with offenders. The national survey used a factorial survey as its design strategy, allowing for analysis of a large variety of federal crimes and variations in the social characteristics of convicted felons. A wealth of detail, along with ample graphic and tabular illustrations, extends the book's application to issues of consensus and variations in punitiveness by region and socioeconomic characteristics of respondents.

There are more prisoners on death row than ever in U.S. history. Social psychologist Mark Costanzo's intelligent, provocative, and historically grounded study of the death penalty in America takes an unblinking look at how the system really works--not just how it's supposed to work. Weighing the costs and benefits, Costanzo builds an important new model for understanding the politics behind the practice of capital punishment.

A brilliant work from the most influential philosopher since Sartre. In this indispensable work, a brilliant thinker suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.

James Anson Farrer's 'Crimes and Punishments', an intellectually robust work, offers readers a profound analysis of criminal justice, intermingling his own insights with a new translation of Cesare Beccaria's influential 18th-century treatise, 'Dei Delitti e delle Pene'. This volume is meticulously curated, reflecting Farrer's adept understanding of legal philosophy and the societal implications of justice systems. Within its pages, readers discern a literary and analytical style that pays homage to historical texts while contextualizing them in a broader literary tradition. The work provides an exhaustive examination into the moral and legal foundations of penal codes, warranting its inclusion in the canon of legal scholarship. Farrer, a scholar of notable acumen, may have been driven by the burgeoning reform movements of his era, recognizing the continuing relevance of Beccaria's ideas on justice and punishment. His erudition is evident, possibly drawn from his consciousness of the contemporaneous penal discourse and its implications for human rights and judicial reforms. His translation and commentary serve not only as a work of preservation but also as a lens through which to re-examine and critique historical frameworks of jurisprudence. 'Crimes and Punishments' beckons to those captivated by the evolution of legal thought, criminology students, and practitioners alike. Its timeless interrogation of justice is essential for any serious discourse surrounding the philosophy of law and the progression of societal standards on punishment. This book stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of Beccaria's pioneering work, illuminated by Farrer's diligent scholarship, making it a quintessential read for those seeking to delve into the complexities of criminal justice and the moral conundrums it presents.

Reprint of the fourth edition, which contains an additional text attributed to Voltaire. Originally published anonymously in 1764, Dei Delitti e Delle Pene was the first systematic study of the principles of crime and punishment. Infused with the spirit of the Enlightenment, its advocacy of crime prevention and the abolition of torture and capital punishment marked a significant advance in criminological thought, which had changed little since the Middle Ages. It had a profound influence on the development of criminal law in Europe and the United States.

Everything was perfect for the Tyler family until their beloved Amanda disappeared on a cold Texas night. Her older brother was charged with the responsibility of protecting her and he failed. Forced to embrace questionable means of investigation in an effort to find her, the oath taken by Zeb Tyler when he became an assistant district attorney is tested beyond limits. Courtroom confrontations pit proponents of victim's rights against anti-death penalty advocates, and Zeb is hailed as the messiah for victims across America. His world detonates as he faces Jackie Lincoln, a Yale-educated liberal who holds the Constitution as her hammer and touts its protection for all, even those who rape and murder the innocent. She is beautiful, relentless, and backed by Rector, Lehman and Kirkpatrick, DC's most formidable attorneys who receive a perpetual stream of cash from the Hollywood elite and a myriad of greed-filled corporations with no face or moral compass, all of whom have made the abolishment of the ultimate penalty their primary objective. These gladiators of justice quickly find themselves in the national spotlight fueled by innuendo and courtroom gossip and a fevered desire to advance their causes. Unlikely alliances are formed, the lines of justice are tested, and the law suddenly becomes a faded gray line as they ultimately search for and find just punishment.
