Racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in sentencing
This paper examines 77,236 federal offenders sentenced under the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 and concludes the following. First, after controlling for extensive criminological, demographic, and socioeconomic variables, I found that blacks, males, and offenders with low levels of education and income receive substantially longer sentences. Second, disparities are primarily generated by departures from the guidelines, rather than differential sentencing within the guidelines. Departures produce about 55 percent of the black-white difference and 70 percent of the male-female difference.
You'll find the rest at the source.

Knowledge without wisdom is a load of books on the back of an ass.
Scorn and mockery towards men in need is one of the reasons feminism is dying as we speak!.

Re: Racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in sentencing
Very interesting find Zub! And it's not such a hard read for those who want the details.
It's one of those areas where most of us have had a gut-feeling (particulary the "pussy-pass" idea) but couldn't actually cite examples or stats without ploughing through published government reports.
Now we can. I would like to suggest to the admins that a reference to this particular study is added to the warcraft file.
Anybody else think so?Zuberi and FloatyBoaty like this.

Yes, I also believe that this gem should be added to the warcraft file.
