The Federal/State Criminal Prosecution Nexus
Contemporary studies of prosecutorial decision making at the state level are infrequent, and even fewer studies examine the discretionary decisions of federal prosecutors. In addition, virtually no scholarly literature examines the growing overlap between federal and state criminal jurisdiction.

Felony justice
The Timing of Justice in Felony Trial Courts
Criminal court delay raises serious political and policy concerns. Analysis of the problem, however, is hobbled by the absence of theory and a lack of comparative, multivariate research that includes both micro‐level and contextual factors. This article draws on data from nine circuit‐level courts to develop an empirical model combining these factors. The results raise new questions about future research designs in this area and about the need to…

This article uses a variety of multilevel data collected from a nine-county study of felony courts to examine the joint effects of contextual and individual level (sociopolitical characteristics of decision workers) upon decisions made in face-to-face groups. The research finds that although the sociopolitical characteristics of decision makers (attitudes toward punishment, Machiavellianism, and operating styles) made a difference in the outcome …

Sentences and Other Sanctions in the Criminal Courts of Baltimore, Chicago, and Detroit
The imposition of formal sanctions by government as embodied in our criminal courts arouses the interest of both the general public and social scientists. There is something dramatic and symbolically potent in the stripping of liberty and even life from a fellow human being. The significance attached to the imposition of a long prison term has led both the public and scholars to focus on the length of prison sentences. Most scholarly research has…
