Extractions: The number of people behind bars in the United States grew by nearly 77 percent in the 1990s, but the rise in the nation's prison population seems to be leveling off, a Justice Department study released Sunday said. The study of inmates in local, state, federal and private prisons said more than 2 million people were incarcerated at the end of 2000. In 2000, there were 478 prisoners serving sentences of a year or more per 100,000 U.S. residents. At the end of 1990, the number was 292 prisoners per 100,000 residents. Five states all relatively small and rural had increases of more than 10 percent in their incarceration rates in 2000: Idaho, North Dakota, Mississippi, Vermont and Iowa. Of the states, Louisiana had the highest incarceration rate, 801 inmates per 100,000 state residents, followed by Texas, 730, Mississippi, 688, and Oklahoma, 685. The District of Columbia's rate was 971. Minnesota and Maine had the lowest rates. Bureau of Justice statistician Allen Beck said the increase in prisoners amid a declining crime rate could be attributed to tougher federal and state sentencing guidelines, longer sentences and a greater tendency to return parole violators to prison.

Extractions: Running Head: Differential Sentencing as a Function of Gender Differential Sentencing of Juvenile Offenders as a Function of Gender John H. Bickford, Jr. Salem State College Abstract Investigated was the effect of gender bias in the assignment of suspensions for juvenile criminal offenders. Twenty-eight participants were presented with a fictional account of either male or female high-school students involved in an act of vandalism and indicated an appropriate suspension. The accounts were otherwise identical and also brief; participants who were presented with the account of male vandals assigned significantly longer suspensions than those presented with that of female vandals. It is suggested that this differential must derive from a preexisting disposition in the participants, the nature of which is not clear but may be an attitude (such as paternalism) or a cognitive schema that rationalizes such favoritism. It is a commonly held belief that male and female juveniles receive differential treatment in the assignment of punitive measures to correct deviate or mischievous behaviors. The prevalent assumption is that female miscreants receive preferential treatment and are punished with less severity than males. This assumption appeals strongly to common sense, and it does correspond to some similar findings regarding the adjudication of adult criminal offenders. Zingraff and Thomson (1984) found that adult females convicted of felony offenses received significantly shorter sentences than adult males convicted of similar crimes; however, in contrast to the common sense expectation, this study also found that female

Twenty-eight participants were presented with a fictional account of either male or female high-school students involved in an act of vandalism and indicated an appropriate suspension. The accounts were otherwise identical and also brief; longer sentences were found to be positively correlated ( r pb ) with the male vandal condition. It is suggested that this differential must derive from a preexisting disposition in the participants, the nature of which is not clear but may be an attitude (such as paternalism) or a cognitive schema that rationalizes such favoritism. It is a seemingly reasonable assumption that male and female juveniles receive differential treatment in the assignment of punitive measures to correct deviate or mischievous behaviors.
