Effects of Prior Record in Sentencing Research in a Large Northeastern City, 1968-1979: [United States]
This data collection examines the impact of defendants'
prior criminal records on the sentencing of male and female defendants
committing violent and non-violent crimes. The collection also provides
data on which types of prior records most influenced the sentencing
judges. Variables deal specifically with the defendant, the judge and
the characteristics of the current case. Only cases that fell into one
of 14 categories of common offenses were included. These offenses were
murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, assault, minor assault, burglary,
auto theft, embezzlement, receiving stolen property, forgery, sex
offenses other than rape, drug possession, and driving while
intoxicated.
