Excerpt: ... chapter iii administration and operation of pardon authorities criticism of pardon authorities As previously stated, at one period in our history the pardoning power was vested almost exclusively in the governor.1 But new administrative duties placed upon him, and also an increase in requests for clemency because of an enlarged prison population made it impossible for him to give the detailed attention to clemency problems which was demanded. Added to these reasons was the feeling which was quite prevalent that some executives had administered this power with such laxness that the systemneeded__fuijhfir. rpgiilatjpn and safeguarding. The debates in a number of state constitutional conventions furnish clear evidence of this feeling. The discussion on this question in the California Constitutional Convention of 1878-79 is a typical illustration. From the proceedings the following extracts are noted: Mr. Barbour said the tenth resolution of the platform of the Workingmen's party, on which he was elected, provided that the pardoning power then vested in the governor should be abolished. Nearly one half of the people voted upon that proposition in voting for the candidates of the Workingmen's party, and there was no reason to presume that the other half were opposed to it.3 Mr. Shafter stated that governors had often been influenced by sentiment and emotion. There had been great abuses in this state and elsewhere as everybody understood.3 Mr. Gregg and Mr. Wickes said that the pardoning power in the past had been stretched to its limits.4 Mr. Barry of the Committee on Pardons said that this power had been abused in the past because of pressure put on the governor.

Excerpt from The Pardoning Power in the American States a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty, of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Political Science The exercise of the clemency power offers an excellent illustration of the use of administrative discretion. Because of limited constitutional and statutory regulation the practices which have developed in the administration of clemency in the American states are numerous and varied in character. The purpose of this study is to examine and criticize the organization and methods of operation of clemency authorities. The scope of clemency is so broad that it has been necessary to confine this investigation to a limited field. An examination of the administration of clemency in the national government has therefore been left untouched. For the same reason this study docs not deal with the pardoning power of mayors and other local officials in those cases where the exercise of this power for minor offenses has been vested in them. No attempt has been made to deal with the subject of clemency from the standpoint of the sociologist and criminologist. This field of investigation, although of vital importance, lies outside the scope of this study which is limited to an examination of the administration of this power. Valuable assistance and encouragement in this undertaking have been received from Professors Ernst Freund, C. E. Merriam, and Mr. W. F. Dodd. I am also much indebted to pardoning officials of several states for their kindness in furnishing information.

Until President Gerald Ford pardoned former president Richard Nixon for the Watergate scandal, most members of the public probably paid little attention to the president's use of the clemency power. Ford's highly controversial pardon of Nixon, however, ignited such a firestorm of protest that, fairly or unfairly, it may have cost him the presidency in 1976. Ever since, presidential pardons have been the subject of increased scrutiny and the focus of news media with a voracious appetite for scandal. This first book-length treatment of presidential pardons in twenty years updates the clemency controversy to consider its more recent uses-or misuses. Blending history, law, and politics into a seamless narrative, Jeffrey Crouch provides a close look at the application and scrutiny of this power. His book is a virtual primer on the subject, covering all facets from its background in English law to current applications. Crouch considers the framers' vision of how clemency would fit into the separation of powers as an "act of grace" or a check on injustice, then explains how the president and Congress have struggled for supremacy over the pardon power, with the Supreme Court generally deferring to the executive branch's desire for its broadest possible application. Before the modern era, presidents rarely interfered in the justice system to protect aides from prosecution, and Crouch examines some of the more controversial pardons in our history, from the Whiskey rebels to Jimmy Hoffa. In the wake of Watergate, he shows, the use of presidential pardons has become more controversial. Crouch assesses whether independent counsel investigations and special prosecutors have prompted the executive to use the pardon as a weapon in interbranch political warfare. He argues that the clemency power has been misused by recent presidents, who have used it to protect themselves or their subordinates, or to reward supporters. And although he concedes that Ford's pardon of Nixon reflected the framers' concerns about preserving government in a time of crisis, he argues that more recent cases involving the Iran-Contra conspirators, commodities trader Marc Rich, and vice-presidential chief-of-staff "Scooter" Libby have demonstrated a disturbing misapplication of power. In fleshing out these misuses of clemency, Crouch weighs the pros and cons of proposed amendments to the pardon power, one of the few powers that are virtually unlimited in the Constitution. The Presidential Pardon Power takes up a key issue in debates over the imperial presidency and urges that public and scholars alike pay closer attention to a dangerous trend.

Virtually every constitutional order in the common law world contains a provision for executive clemency or pardon in criminal cases. This facility for legal mercy is not limited to a single place in modern legal systems, but is instead realized through various practices such as a law enforcement officer’s decision to arrest, a prosecutor’s decision to prosecute, and a judge’s decision to convict and sentence. Doubts about legal mercy in any form as unfair, unguided, or arbitrary are as ubiquitous as the exercise of mercy itself. This book presents a comparative analysis of the clemency and pardon power in the common law world. Andrew Novak compares the modern development, organization, and practice of constitutional and statutory schemes of clemency and pardon in the United Kingdom, United States, and Commonwealth jurisdictions. He asks whether the bureaucratization of the clemency power is in line with global trends, and explores how innovations in legislative involvement, judicial review, and executive consultation have made the mercy and pardon procedure more transparent. The book concludes with a discussion on the future of the clemency and pardon power given the decline of the death penalty in the Commonwealth and the rise of the modern institution of parole. As a work concerned with the practice of mercy in the common law world, this book will be of great interest to researchers and students of international and comparative criminal justice and international human rights law.
