Determinate Sentencing
Author: Pamala L. Griset
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438405049
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
This book discusses in depth the rise and fall of the determinate ideal, once heralded as a replacement to the old order of criminal justice. Using new materials and combining political, empirical, and theoretical perspectives, Griset examines the attempt in New York State to establish determinate sentencing — "punishment for its own sake" — to replace the existing policy of rehabilitation. In portraying New York's experience against the backdrop of a national reform agenda, she analyzes the development and ultimate failure of a major social movement.

The Implementation of the California Determinate Sentencing Law
Author: Jonathan D. Casper
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Criminal procedure
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
On July 1, 1977, California began a major reform in its policy dealing with prison sentences. The Uniform Determinate Sentence Law (to be referred to here as the DSL) became effective on this day, replacing a system of indeterminate sentencing (to be called here ISL) that had been in existence for sixty years. The new DSL thus radically changed the process under which prison term lengths were set, and removing some of the extraordinary uncertainty characterizing the open-ended sentences of the ISL. It is clearly early to begin the process of attempting to assess the effects of the California DSL, as only a few years have passed since it went into effect and its ultimate impacts may take years to be fully worked out. In addition to providing information about how the new law has affected and been mediated by court disposition processes, we also are concerned with a somewhat broader issue, that of the impact or implementation process in general. How does the impact of California DSL inform us about the general process by which public policy is made at the legislative level and then translated into behavioral changes by other decision makers whose job it is to "implement" the policies of the legislature? How, in this case, does implementation of the DSL illuminate the process by which sentencing policy is made, implemented, and modified as time goes by?
