Trial Penalties in Federal Sentencing: Extra‐Guidelines Factors and District Variation (2010, methodology): “…sentencing and case-processing outcomes has by now been well established in a number of studies (e.g., Britt, 2000; Fearn, 2005; Johnson, 2005, 2006; Kautt, 2002; Kramer & Ulmer, 2009; Ulmer & Bradley, 2006; Ulmer & Johnson, 2004; Weidner, Frase, & Schultz, 2005; Wooldredge & Thistlethwaite, 2004).”
Recent Developments and New Directions in Sentencing Research (2012, background): “Other studies reveal either no support for racial threat (Kautt, 2002; Weidner & Frase, 2003; Weidner, Frase, & Pardoe, 2004), or evidence contrary to racial threat hypotheses (Britt, 2000).”
Is the Magic Still There? The Use of the Heckman Two-Step Correction for Selection Bias in Criminology (2007, methodology): “ Albonetti 1997; Bushway and Piehl 2001; Kurlychek and Johnson 2004), we will follow the more traditional assumption that judicial decision making occurs in two distinct stages: judges decide whether or not to incarcerate and then they decide the length of the sentence for those receiving incarcera”
The Independent and Joint Effects of Race/Ethnicity, Gender, and Age on Sentencing Outcomes in U.S. Federal Courts (2010, unknown): “And, prior research suggests that a small portion of the variation in sentencing outcomes is explained by court context (Kautt, 2002; Ulmer & Johnson, 2004).”
A Multilevel Test of Minority Threat Effects on Sentencing (2010, methodology): “This measure is the most commonly used indicator of racial threat in sentencing studies (see, e.g., Britt 2000; Fearn 2005; Kautt 2002; Ulmer and Johnson 2004), and threat research generally (e.g., Kent and Jacobs 2005; Stults and Baumer 2007).”
Prosecutorial Discretion: An Examination of Substantial Assistance Departures in Federal Crack‐Cocaine and Powder‐Cocaine Cases (2007, background): “These wave-five studies use multilevel modeling techniques to determine whether sentence outcomes vary across jurisdictions and to identify interjurisdictional differences in the factors that affect sentencing decisions (Britt, 2000; Kautt, 2002; Ulmer & Johnson, 2004).”
A Multilevel Analysis of Community Effects on Criminal Sentencing (2005, methodology): “Until very recently, we have had relatively scarce information about the ways in which community context may affect sentencing outcomes (see Britt, 2000; Kautt, 2002; Ulmer & Johnson, 2004).”
