Are you interested in federal criminal prosecution or defense? Do you need reliable, current crime and sentencing statistics for a research paper or assignment? The
United States Sentencing Commission has just released its free, online
2014 Sourcebook of Federal Sentencing Statistics (scroll down for links to the content). The Sourcebook contains statistics on federal crimes and offenders and the application of the federal sentencing guidelines in selected districts, circuits, and nationally. It includes numerical and demographic data on offenders by
crime category, statistics on guilty pleas and trials, comparisons of sentences to the guideline range, data from drug and immigration cases, and sentencing appeals information.
Best of all, there is an
Interactive Sourcebook where you can create customized statistical tables and filter data by circuit, district, and date. For historical or comparative statistics, consult the
Annual Reports & Sourcebooks Archives, containing all Sourcebooks back to the 1996 first edition.
