• Opening Pandora’s Box: How Does Defendant Race Influence Plea Bargaining? (2016, methodology): “…study of racial disparities in punishment is nearly as old as the field of American criminology itself (e.g. Sellin, 1928), the vast majority of contemporary research remains focused on judicial sentencing decisions rather than prosecutorial bargaining decisions (Baumer, 2013; Ulmer, 2012).”
• The Effect of Race/Ethnicity on Sentencing: Examining Sentence Type, Jail Length, and Prison Length (2015, methodology): “PSM is one method of improving on the biases that can result from utilizing traditional regression modeling of case-level race and sentencing data (Baumer, 2013; Berk, Li, & Hickman, 2005).”
• AN EXPLICIT TEST OF PLEA BARGAINING IN THE “SHADOW OF THE TRIAL”† (2014, methodology): “We believe that the field of sentencing in criminology could benefit from the adoption of methods from psychology and law (Baumer, 2013). for our respondents.”
