From the publisher: "The sentencing guidelines written by the U.S. Sentencing Commission for the federal crime courts were designed to lead to uniform the just punishments for convicted criminals. How well did the Commission's judgments about what were just punishments compare to the view of the American public Using data from a 1994 national household survey the authors compare the punishments described by the Commission to those desired by the public. Contrary to the frequency claims of excessive leniency on the part of judges that are often asserted by journalists and shapers of opinions Rossi and Berk find strong correspondence between the median sentences deemed appropriate by the public and the sentences prescribed by the guidelines. Although the authors conclude that the Commission was able to match prescribed punishments closely to the American consensus for most crimes in one category -- drug trafficking offenses -- the guidelines were much harsher in dealing with offenders. The national survey used a factorial survey as its design strategy allowing for analysis of a large variety of federal crimes and variations in the social characteristics of convicted felons. A wealth of detail along with ample graphic and tabular illustrations extends the book's application to issues of consensus and variations in punitiveness by region and socioeconomic characteristics of respondents.".

First edition, 14 + 4pp., of adverts at end, final advert leaf frayed on outer margin, later paper wrappers. Michael Thomas Bass, the Burton-on-Trent brewer and M.P., was concerned with all questions relating to the welfare of the working classes. He requested Prof. Levi to institute a wide and methodical inquiry into the earnings of the working classes throughout the United Kingdom. Levi himself took a lively interest in the working classes and investigated their economic position in several works.****In a calculation made in 1871 it was demonstrated that 'the yearly revenue derived from beer, wines and spirits amounted to about ?28,000,000 being more than a third of the whole revenue. Messrs. Bass contributed upwards of ?780 a day.'
240 pages; Crime and punishment have concerned humanity since the beginning of social life. Their manifestations in ancient Rome remains a fascinating topic, as the law of most European countries today is derived from ancient Roman law. Richard A. Bauman tells the history of punishment from the Roman Republic to the late Empire, shedding light on some decisive aspects of Roman history. He assesses punishment according to its innate humanity and cruelty, traces the changes in Roman attitudes, laws and practices during this era. Trials for treason, sedition and corruption illuminate political history; common law crimes like murder, and forgery that sharpen our perception of social history; discussions of freedom of speech increase our understanding of intellectual history; and religious persecutions fill out the picture of religious history. In its scope and focus, this is an unprecedented study, painting a vivid picture of the theory and practice of punishment in ancient Rome.
