Innovative Scopes of Race in Sentencing Decisions
Thu, Nov 16, 9:30 to 10:50am, Marriott, Room 409, 4th FloorSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
Racial disparity has been the focus of sentencing research for decades. Building on existing sentencing research as well as findings of other disciplines, papers in this thematic panel examine the relationship between race and the sentence from a variety of innovative perspectives. The first paper evaluates the relationship of defendant attractiveness and sentencing decisions. The second paper examines the interaction of race and citizenship and immigration status. The third paper studies the sentencing of American Indians. The fourth paper examines variation in probation conditions and its relationship with race.
