Roberts, Jesper Ryberg, and Jan W. de Keijser Most people’s image of a sentencing hearing involves an offender being sen- tenced for a single crime. Questions about legal punishment are framed from this perspective: What is an appropriate sentence for a crime of this seriousness, committed by an offender with this level of culpability? If custody is appropriate, how much time in prison does the offender deserve for this offense? These questions are far from easy to answer, yet the sentencing exercise is even more complicated when the offender stands convicted of multiple crimes. These may be multiple counts of the same offense (a series of burglaries or thefts) or they may be a constellation of diverse crimes (two burglaries, an assault, possession of stolen property and possession of a weapon). It is hard to know the exact volume of such cases, as the question has attracted little empiri- cal research. However, in England and Wales, the Sentencing Council has esti- mated that approximately 40% of sentencing decisions involved multiple crimes. Michael Tonry (this volume) provides data showing comparable trends in the United States. Can the approach to sentencing single crimes be directly applied to multiple count cases? Not easily. Transposing the logic of single- offense sen- tencing— assigning a specific sentence for each crime independent of the other, and cumulating the total sentences— creates a number of problems. Although sentencing systems around the world pursue multiple objectives, the retributive principle of proportionality is common to almost all. A court sen- tencing under a retributive rationale imposes a sanction commensurate with the seriousness of the crime and the offender’s culpability. Offenses of differing seri- ousness will attract different sentences: more

  • Printed Books to 1640
    Printed Books to 1640 JULIAN ROBERTS BIBLIOGRAPHY IS A TECHNIQUE PROPER to li­ brarians. There are many outstanding exceptions to this resoundingly simple statement, but it nevertheless remains true that the librarian is the principal interpreter and beneficiary of the evidence which books, through their physical features, offer about themselves. One of the librarian's most elementary acts, that of cataloging, is bibliographical in nature, in that it records without comment or explanation, certain evidence offered by the book concerning itself, which must be suffi­ cient to differentiate it from other books. To take an example, if one catalogs a book called The Shield of Achilles published in 1955, such information is only sufficient to differentiate this compilation from other books by the same author, and from other books which have on their title pages, "The Shield of Achilles, Second edition, 1962" and so on. The information recorded fails to reveal that the book is not about the Trojan War or ancient armor. The trends to be considered in this article are given fundamental unity by the fact that they all arise from attempts to interpret and use knowledge derived from the differentiation of books by means of their physical characteristics. It is this differentiation which gives unity to the subject called bibliography (historical or analytical bibliography, that is, as opposed to subject "bibliography," the listing of books and articles by their subjects). The various uses made of this knowledge range in complexity from the distinguishing of books, editions, and perhaps issues, which is necessary for the compilation of union and short title catalogs, to the microscopic precision of Charlton Hinman's collation of the copies of the First Folio of Shakespeare in the Folger Library.

  • 'The Real Rape of York'
    ‘The real rape of York’. Dr. Rosenbach’s acquisition of books from York Minster Library: a reconsideration I The upkeep of York Minster has always been a costly business.1 Financial crises have often stimulated a perceived need for drastic measures, in order to ensure the Minster’s survival as a place of worship. Its financial viability has been the most common cause for concern, not least in terms of the relentless need for funds to maintain its exquisite but financially draining fabric. In the early twentieth century, the Minster found itself in precarious circumstances, and not all of them financial. DurinG the Great War, York Minster was not only in difficulty on paper, its very edifice was in a precarious state. The Minster’s fabric was in great need of repair; the ongoing war made it difficult to raise funds. Worse still, it was also facing a very different sort of threat: in 1916 the Chapter acknowledged that the city of York was 1 This essay is dedicated to Mrs. Deirdre Mortimer, former Librarian of York Minster. Special thanks go to the staff of York Minster Library and Archives – in particular to John Powell and Peter YounG – for their Generosity with their time and knowledGe, and to Nicolas Barker, for his advice and comments on earlier drafts of this essay. I would also like to thank Elizabeth Fuller, GreG Ciuliano and the staff at the Rosenbach Museum and Library for their help durinG my time in Philadelphia.

  • State Constitutional Law Steps out of the Shadows: Transcript of Selected Symposium Panel Discussions*
    KANSAS LAW REVIEW 2010 SYMPOSIUM TRANSCRIPT FINAL 5/14/2011 1:07:31 PM State Constitutional Law Steps Out of the Shadows: Transcript of Selected Symposium Panel Discussions* I. SCHOOL FINANCE AND EDUCATION RIGHTS PANEL DISCUSSION Stephen Mazza, Interim Dean, University of Kansas School of Law: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Kansas Law Review Annual Symposium. I am Steve Mazza, the Interim Dean at the KU Law School. We are honored to have with us today distinguished members of the judiciary of the legal academy and of the practicing bar. The topic of today’s symposium, State Constitutional Laws Steps Out of the Shadows, was suggested by our own Professor Stephen McAllister who is widely known for his work as the Kansas Solicitor General and his involvement in several important state constitutional cases. Steve, working with the Law Review Symposium Editor, Joseph Hinckley, the Law Review Editor in Chief, Melissa Plunkett, and the Managing Editor, Daniel Buller, and the entire Law Review staff, has put together an outstanding program and what I think you will find to be an interesting approach to today’s event. Instead of following the typical model of having a single presenter followed by a question and answer session, the program organizers opted to employ discussion panels, each having a convener and a group of panelists. As a result, I expect we are going to get a much livelier discussion of the issues this morning. So without further ado, I want to thank all the panel participants and I will turn the program over to the Symposium Editor of the Kansas Law Review, Joseph Hinckley, who will introduce the panels.

  • Ferrara Common Law Sentencing
    Ferrara Common Law Sentencing: COURSE OUTLINE AND COURSE READINGS Julian Roberts, Faculty of Law, University of Oxford, [email protected] Overview of Seminar: Sentencing lies at the heart of the criminal justice system. The decisions of judges attract considerable public interest and the sentencing process has become considerably politicized in recent years. This is true in the U.S., the U.K., as well as other common law jurisdictions. In this course we shall explore the sentencing process beginning with the most basic question: Why Punish? Many justifications have been offered for the imposition of legal punishments, and multiple sentencing objectives have recently been placed on a statutory footing in a number of common law jurisdictions. The focus is on common law, adversarial sentencing but we shall also consider the differences between common and civil law sentencing procedures. Throughout this seminar we shall explore a number of key issues, the most important of which pertains to the structuring of discretion at sentencing. We shall also attempt to place penal policy developments in an international context since the problems confronting the sentencing process also exist in other countries. Each session of the course is divided into two topics. Format: At the beginning of each seminar the instructor will provide an introduction to the topic, and an overview of the key issues in the area. This will be followed by discussion of the specific seminar questions, and general discussion among all participants. We shall also discuss several appellate judgments; copies of the cases will be provided by the instructor.

  • Sentencing Disparities Between Male and Female Teacher Sexual Offenders
    Sentencing Disparities Between Male and Female Teacher Sexual Offenders: Do Male Offenders Receive Harsher Penalties in Arizona? by Christopher Simmon A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved November 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Kristy Holtfreter, Chair Kevin Wright Cassia Spohn ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2012 ABSTRACT The purpose of this preliminary study is to determine if sentencing disparities exist between male and female teachers who have been convicted of sexual misconduct with a student in Maricopa County, Arizona over a ten-year period. The hypothesis is that male teachers convicted of sexual misconduct with a student will receive harsher punishment than their female counterparts. In addition, this research will analyze the sentencing decisions of Arizona judges and prosecutors through plea-bargaining when compared with the presumptive sentence set by the Arizona Legislature. Issues that will be addressed include: a brief review of gender disparities in sentencing, sex offender sentencing, Arizona's rules of criminal procedure, and a review of the Arizona Revised Statutes pertaining to sexual crimes as well as the Arizona Supreme Court sentencing guidelines. The data set consists of fifteen different Maricopa County teachers who committed a sexual offense against a student and were convicted of that offense from February 2000 through September 2009. According to the results of this study, male teachers do receive harsher penalties than their female counterparts within Maricopa County. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My special thanks are extended to my family Paul, Virginia, Jennifer, Rob, Robert and Jack as well as Lisa and her family for their patient guidance, enthusiastic encouragement and useful critiques.

  • Is That a Sexual Predator Hiding Behind That Badge? Steve A
    Is that a Sexual Predator hiding behind that badge? Steve A. Mizera, R.S.O Is that a sexual predator hiding behind that badge? Steve A. Mizera Stopping Sexual Predators before they strike, regardless of who they are, should be the primary focus in the effort to combat child molestation. It is not. Society has determined to waste its resources dealing with predators after they cause the damage to children. Although society is certainly justified in using precious resources to PUNISH predators after due process, it should consider educating parents and registering adults who work with and are responsible for children instead of using the millions of dollars it spends registering and monitoring former predators whose recidivism rate is extremely low. Current Sex Offender registration causes unwarranted harm to families of former offenders. The focus of this book is to arm parents and those responsible for children by providing answers to the questions: Who is molesting kids and why? When and where are children molested? How does molestation take place? And most important, what should be done to prevent this moral epidemic? Written and Compiled by Steve A.
