Jury To Judge Sentencing

Observations on Alabama's Policy Change

Edward H. Stevens

The University of Alabama in Birmingham Criminal Justice Department University Station Birmingham, Alabama 35294

This paper presents data and analysis concerning the effect of change in criminal sanctioning authority in the State of Alabama. The data indicate that judges impose longer sentences than juries, but they are less influenced by the race of the defendent. While the recent policy change has brought positive results, unanticipated consequences also occurred. It is suggested that further reform in Alabama sentencing procedure is required.
