Does Gender Modify the Effects of Race–ethnicity on Criminal Sanctioning? Sentences for Male and Female White, Black, and Hispanic Defendants (2006, methodology): “The paucity of research on the treatment of Hispanics in the criminal justice system is particularly alarming given that recent sophisticated studies provide evidence that Hispanic defendants are sentenced more harshly than white (and sometimes black) defendants (e.g., Engen and Gainey 2000; Spohn ”
Distinguishing Race Effects on Pre-Trial Release and Sentencing Decisions (2012, background): “Johnson, 2005; Koons-Witt, 2002; Miethe & Moore, 1985; Nobiling, Spohn, & DeLone, 1998; Spohn & Holleran, 2000; Steffensmeier et al., 1998; Ulmer & Johnson, 2004).”
Prosecutorial Discretion: An Examination of Substantial Assistance Departures in Federal Crack‐Cocaine and Powder‐Cocaine Cases (2007, background): “Recent research has shown that race and ethnicity interact with other offender characteristics to produce harsher sentences for Black and Hispanic male offenders (Spohn & Holleran 2000; Steffensmeier & Demuth 2001, 2000; Steffensmeier et al. 1998).”
Trial Penalties in Federal Sentencing: Extra‐Guidelines Factors and District Variation (2010, background): “…and assessments of focal concerns such as perceived dangerousness or blameworthiness, as well as the salience of relevant practical constraints and consequences, might be influenced by race, ethnicity and gender (Peterson & Hagan, 1984; Spohn & Holleran, 2000; Steffensmeier et al., 1998).”
An Examination of the Interactions of Race and Gender on Sentencing Decisions Using a Trichotomous Dependent Variable (2013, background): “This is similar to other researchers’ previous findings (e.g., Spohn & Holleran, 2000; Steffensmeier et al., 1998) that Black men are treated more harshly than other groups.”
Is Preferential Treatment of Female Offenders a Thing of the Past? A Multisite Study of Gender, Race, and Imprisonment (2000, methodology): “…for women than for men (Daly, 1987), whereas unemployment may have a more pronounced effect for men than for women (Chiricos & Bales, 1991; Nobiling et al., 1998; Spohn & Holleran, 2000), we include these variables when we estimate separate models for women and for men (in Chicago and Kansas City).”
Race and Cumulative Discrimination in the Prosecution of Criminal Defendants (2013, background): “However, it is important to recognize that the focal concerns guiding prosecutorial decision making are similar but not identical to those concerns that guide judicial decisions (Danzigera, Levavb, & Avnaim-Pessoa, 2011; Hartley, Maddan, & Spohn, 2007; Spohn & Holleran, 2000).”
The Independent and Joint Effects of Race/Ethnicity, Gender, and Age on Sentencing Outcomes in U.S. Federal Courts (2010, unknown): “Spohn and Holleran (2000) extend the research done by Steffensmeier et al. (1998) by looking at the effects of race/ethnicity, age, gender, and employment status on sentence outcomes in state courts in Chicago, Miami, and Kansas City.”
A Meta-Analysis of Race and Sentencing Research: Explaining the Inconsistencies (2005, background): “This limitation is particularly salient, as a growing body of research indicates that minority status when combined with other factors has large influences on sentencing outcomes, independent of other factors (Chiricos and Bales, 1991; Spohn and Holleran, 2000; Steffensmeier et al., 1998).”
Recent Developments and New Directions in Sentencing Research (2012, unknown): “…more severely (just a few examples are Curry & Corral-Camacho, 2008; Demuth & Steffensmeier, 2004b; Doerner & Demuth, 2009; Kautt & Spohn, 2002; Kramer & Ulmer, 2002, 2009; Spohn & Holleran, 2000; Steen, Engen, and Gainey, 2005; Steffensmeier & Demuth, 2000, 2001, 2006; Ulmer et al., 2007).”
The Failure of Race Neutral Policies: How Mandatory Terms and Sentencing Enhancements Contribute to Mass Racialized Incarceration (2011, background): “The effect of the defendant’s race on criminal processing varies by sex (Curran, 1983; Daly, 1989; Spohn & Holleran, 2000; Steffensmeier & Demuth, 2000).”
