Citations in the corpus

• Reassessing and Redirecting Research on Race and Sentencing (2013, methodology): “Similar observations have emerged in research on sentencing from other guidelines states as well (e.g. Engen & Gainey, 2000; Ulmer, 2000; Wooldredge, 2010), though this is not merely an issue in states with sentencing commissions.”
• Does Gender Modify the Effects of Race–ethnicity on Criminal Sanctioning? Sentences for Male and Female White, Black, and Hispanic Defendants (2006, background): “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”
• The Independent and Joint Effects of Race/Ethnicity, Gender, and Age on Sentencing Outcomes in U.S. Federal Courts (2010, unknown): “However, it is important to note that there are some studies that find no main effects of race (e.g., Engen & Gainey, 2000; Miethe & Moore, 1986).”
• Distinguishing Race Effects on Pre-Trial Release and Sentencing Decisions (2012, background): “…correlation between a convicted defendant’s race and sentence severity that was rendered nonsignificant with controls for charges and prior record (see also Engen & Gainey, 2000; Kleck, 1981; Kramer & Steffensmeier, 1993; Pruitt & Wilson, 1983; Welch, Gruhl, & Spohn, 1984; Wooldredge, 1998).”
• A Meta-Analysis of Race and Sentencing Research: Explaining the Inconsistencies (2005, result): “Still other studies have found no difference in sentencing outcomes by race of the defendant (e.g., Engen and Gainey, 2000 ).”
• Prosecutorial Discretion and the Imposition of Mandatory Minimum Sentences (2007, background): “Moreover, recent statements of the focal concerns perspective argue that it is enhanced by joining it with a court community perspective (Eisenstein et al. 1988; Ulmer 1997). Interpretations of focal concerns are locally variable because they are embedded in local court community contexts (Johnson 2”
• Measuring and Explaining Charge Bargaining (2007, background): “Any departure from this presumptive sentence can then be viewed as an exercise of discretion that can be placed directly in the hands of the actor ultimately responsible for assigning sentencing lengths (Bushway and Piehl 2001; Engen and Gainey 2000).”
• Recent Developments and New Directions in Sentencing Research (2012, background): “If guideline sentencing data-sets did not include all researchers wanted (and they did not), they were at least an improvement over sentencing stage data that had been used before (Engen & Gainey, 2000).”
