Abstract

Between 1980 and today, the US federal system has struggled to deal with the challenges of sentencing the relatively small number of defendants I shall loosely call “high-end” white collar offenders. After briefly sketching out this story, I explore the lessons, with particular attention to the interaction between institutional and procedural structures and theoretical white collar sanctioning goals. While the precise nature of these institutional and procedural structures is jurisdiction specific, I hope to highlight the need to consider such structures when devising an optimal (or, even second-best) sentencing regime.

美国联邦白领量刑——一项正在进行的工作

从1980年到今天，美国联邦体系一直在努力应对对相对少数被告(我可以粗略地称之为“高端”白领罪犯)判刑的挑战。在简要概述了这个故事之后，我探讨了其中的教训，特别注意制度和程序结构与理论上的白领制裁目标之间的相互作用。虽然这些体制和程序结构的确切性质是针对管辖权的，但我希望强调，在设计最佳(甚至次优)量刑制度时，需要考虑这些结构。

期刊介绍： Law and Contemporary Problems was founded in 1933 and is the oldest journal published at Duke Law School. It is a quarterly, interdisciplinary, faculty-edited publication of Duke Law School. L&CP recognizes that many fields in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities can enhance the development and understanding of law. It is our purpose to seek out these areas of overlap and to publish balanced symposia that enlighten not just legal readers, but readers from these other disciplines as well. L&CP uses a symposium format, generally publishing one symposium per issue on a topic of contemporary concern. Authors and articles are selected to ensure that each issue collectively creates a unified presentation of the contemporary problem under consideration. L&CP hosts an annual conference at Duke Law School featuring the authors of one of the year’s four symposia.
