A Multilevel Test of Minority Threat Effects on Sentencing (2010, methodology): “In sentencing research, minority population size has been used as an indicator of racial or ethnic threat that, in turn, has been used to predict individual-level sentencing outcomes (Britt 2000; Crawford et al. 1998; Fearn 2005; Helms and Jacobs 2002; Johnson 2003, 2005, 2006; Johnson et al. 2008”
Recent Developments and New Directions in Sentencing Research (2012, background): “…this kind of variation between judges and prosecutors, for example, does not contradict the notion that court community contexts shape actors’ decisions, and that between-actor variation occurs relative to court community norms (see Anderson & Spohn, 2010; Johnson, 2006; Spohn & Fornango, 2009).”
Trial Penalties in Federal Sentencing: Extra‐Guidelines Factors and District Variation (2010, background): “…for analyses of 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 &…”
Distinguishing Race Effects on Pre-Trial Release and Sentencing Decisions (2012, neutral): “…and/or specific combinations of a defendant’s race, sex, and age (e.g., Doerner & Demuth, 2010; Griffin & Wooldredge, 2006; Holleran & Spohn, 2004; Johnson, 2005, 2006; Koons-Witt, 2002; Muhlhausen, 2004; Spohn & Holleran, 2000; Steffensmeier & Demuth, 2000, 2006; Tapia, 2010; Ulmer,…”
Assessing the Impact of First-Time Imprisonment on Offenders’ Subsequent Criminal Career Development: A Matched Samples Comparison (2009, background): “First, prior work on criminal careers and sentencing both in the US (e.g., Johnson 2003, 2006) and the Netherlands (Van Grinsven and Bruinsma 1990; Nieuwbeerta and Leistra 2007) sheds light on factors that may influence judges’ decisions.”
Opening Pandora’s Box: How Does Defendant Race Influence Plea Bargaining? (2016, background): “…(e.g. Blumstein, 1982, 1993), much of the empirical research focuses on how discretionary decisions in the justice system may contribute to and exacerbate social inequality in case processing outcomes (e.g. Austin & Allen, 2000; Johnson, 2006; Spohn & Fornango, 2009; Walker, Spohn, & DeLone, 2012).”
Reassessing and Redirecting Research on Race and Sentencing (2013, background): “This study and others like it in the area of mock jury decision-making illustrate nicely the kind of research that could enhance current scholarship on race and sentencing (Eberhardt, Davies, Purdie-Vaughns, & Johnson, 2006; Graham & Lowry, 2004; Levinson, 2007; Levinson & Young, 2010).”
Is the Magic Still There? The Use of the Heckman Two-Step Correction for Selection Bias in Criminology (2007, background): “6) to the PCS data for race, ethnicity, and gender, net of the presumptive sentence, mandatory sentences, sentencing year, offender age, crime type (violent, property, drug) and mode of conviction (see Johnson 2006 for a detailed description of these data).”
