| This research will determine the extent to which the central findings about effectiveness of criminal sanctions on repeat offending reported by Wooldredge & Thistlethwaite (2005) can be reproduced from archival data. This research will build upon the existing analyses to construct new analyses that will extend our understanding of the crime control effects of prosecution, conviction, and sentence severity. The study will measure case disposition and the role of an offender's stakes in conformity. | |
