Sentencing in Eight United States District Courts, 1973-1978
This data collection provides information about sentencing
patterns established by the United States District Courts for federal
offenses. It is one of only a few studies that examine federal
sentencing patterns, court involvement, sentencing, and criminal
histories. Eleven types of crimes are included: bank robbery,
embezzlement, income tax evasion, mail theft, forgery, drugs, random
other, false claims, homicide, bribery of a public official, and mail
fraud. There are three kinds of data files that pertain to the 11 types
of crimes: psi files, offense files, and AO files. The psi files
describe defendant demographic background and criminal history. The
offense files contain questions tailored to a particular type of
offense committed by a defendant and the results of conviction and
sentencing. The AO files provide additional information on defendants'
background characteristics, court records, and dates of court entry and
exit.
