Handbook on Punishment Decisions: Locations of Disparity provides a
comprehensive assessment of the current knowledge on sites of
disparity in punishment decision-making. This collection of essays
and reports of original research defines disparity broadly to
include the intersection of race/ethnicity, gender, age,
citizenship/immigration status, and socioeconomic status, and it
examines dimensions such as how pretrial or guilty plea processes
shape exposure to punishment, how different types of sentencing
decisions and/or policy structures (sentencing guidelines,
mandatory minimums, risk assessment tools) might shape and
condition disparity, and how post-sentencing decisions involving
probation and parole contribute to inequalities. The sixteen
contributions pull together what we know and what we don't about
punishment decision-making and plow new ground for further advances
in the field. The ASC Division on Corrections & Sentencing
Handbook Series publishes volumes on topics ranging from violence
risk assessment to specialty courts for drug users, veterans, or
people with mental illness. Each thematic volume focuses on a
single topical issue that intersects with corrections and
sentencing research.
