Washington and Lee Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice explores federal sentencing realities and reform
The introductory essay I saw on SSRN (and blogged about here) altered me to the fact that the latest issue of the Washington and Lee Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice has a full set of terrific-looking articles about the modern federal sentencing system. Here are the titles and links:
Reforming Federal Sentencing: A Call for Equality-Infused Menschlichkeit by Nora V. Demleitner
Federal Sentencing: A Judge’s Personal Sentencing Journey Told Through the Voices of Offenders He Sentenced by Mark W. Bennett
Sentencing Disparities and the Dangerous Perpetuation of Racial Bias by Jelani Jefferson Exum
Article III Adultification of Kids: History, Mystery, and Troubling Implications of Federal Youth Transfers by Mae C. Quinn and Grace R. McLaughlin
Technology’s Influence on Federal Sentencing: Past, Present, and Future by Matthew G. Rowland
Crime and Punishment: Considering Prison Disciplinary Sanctions as Grounds for Departure Under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines
