Summary, Etc.  

요약This study investigates the impact of judicial and temporal context on sentencing for organizational offenders. Specifically, whether sanctions are influenced by district court characteristics, whether certain kinds of organizations are treated differently across districts, and if these changes may be related to policy changes within the Department of Justice (DOJ). Though organizational offenders are typically associated with white-collar crime, most of the existing white-collar literature consists of research on individual-person offenders. There are few studies on crimes committed by or in the interest of organizations. So much so it appears no serious effort has been made to establish how relevant judicial context is in organizational sentencing, particularly whether aspects of the districts themselves impact sentencing and whether different kinds of organizations receive distinct treatment between districts. If there are sentencing disparities related to these variables, it could be indicative of varying local attitudes towards organizational offenders in general as well as certain kinds of organizations. This kind of local variation would represent an obstacle towards implementing any kind of system-wide reform or sentencing strategy. Consequently, the present proposal investigates for these potential disparities using the "Organizations Convicted in Federal Courts" data set. It includes the roughly 4,000 organizations that have been convicted and sentenced within federal district courts from 1991-2013. The outcome variables include months of probation an organization received, amount an organization was fined, and whether it was asked to institute a compliance plan. The main predictor variables for individual organizations are primary business classification of an organization, its ownership structure, its size (in number of employees), its age, and the period the organization was sentenced in. The main predictors variables at the district level are total filings, number of felonies per judge, total corporate taxes paid to the state the district is in, number of organizational convictions upheld within the district, trial rate for the district, downward departure rate for upheld organizational convictions per district, and court size. The primary methods of analysis will be multivariate regression and hierarchical regression modeling. Binary logistic regression will be used to predict whether compliance programs were ordered while OLS regression will be used to predict amount fined and months of probation. The hierchichal regression models will consist of two levels; level 1 will represent the individual cases/offenders while level-2 will represent the federal district the case was processed in.
