- W2912109338 abstract "This paper investigates the impact of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines governing organizational defendants, which came into effect in 1991. Our empirical analysis focuses on publicly held firms convicted of crimes in Federal courts in 1988-1996, and analyzes both criminal fines and total sanctions (defined as nonfine criminal sanctions, civil sanctions and administrative sanctions). The empirical analysis has two parts. First we examine the extent to which criminal fines and total sanctions are higher under the Guidelines than they were previously. We find that both tend to be substantially higher than before, although the increase in criminal fines exceeds the increase in total sanctions. The second part investigates these observed penalty increases more closely. We are interested in whether increased sanctions are attributable to the mandatory constraint imposed by the Guidelines, or whether judges would have increased sanctions during this period even if not subjected to mandatory sentencing provisions. Empirical tests derive from the observation that many of the sanctions imposed after the enactment of the Guidelines are not governed by the Guidelines' mandatory fine provisions. Comparing post-Guidelines sanctions that were constrained by the Guidelines with those that were not, we find that criminal fines are significantly higher in cases constrained by the Guidelines, but total pecuniary sanctions are not. This finding is consistent with the view that, while the Guidelines may have forced judges to impose higher fines than they would otherwise have imposed, the Guidelines did not constrain the total sanction. That is, substitution between mandatory criminal fines and other non-fine pecuniary sanctions appears to have occurred. We explore several alternative explanations for this somewhat surprising finding." @default.
