El misterioso caso de las cifras oficiales sobre condenas por delitos sexuales graves
This paper analyzes direct or indirect official sources in Spain that provide data on convictions and sentences for serious sexual offenses (rape and sexual abuse with penetration) committed against individuals of 16 years or over, demonstrating that the data are far from reliable. To this end, we analyze information provided by the State Attorney General’s Office and the Central Registry of Sex Offenders. Additionally, an ad hoc dataset was cons…
Is there a penalty for going to trial in Spain? Plea bargaining and courtroom efficiency
The plea bargain is now the most frequent mode of conviction in many countries, yet several problems have been highlighted, such as loss of rights, enhanced sentencing disparities or increased false confessions. A central element to many of the issues is the sentence discount obtained by pleading or the penalty associated with going to trial. However, outside the United States and the United Kingdom, there have been few attempts to analyse plea-t…

The results…

Adicionalmente, se ha prestado atención al crecimiento de la población penitenciaria como señal de abuso del sistema penal. Estas líneas de investigación, sin embargo, resultan incompletas si lo que se pretende es conocer la realidad penológica e…
Suspended Sentences in Spain
Criminal proceedings in many European states are increasingly being resolved via plea bargaining agreements; yet, there is relatively scant European research on the implications for the defendant or the role this practice plays within the criminal justice system. Using a sample of 1417 criminal cases, this paper examines how suspended prison sentences may be utilized in Spain to encourage or coerce defendants into a guilty plea. In addition to mo…
