{"product_id":"german-and-american-prosecutions-office-of-justice-programs-bureau-of-ju-9781249569534","title":"German and American Prosecutions: An Approach to Statistical Comparison","description":"Provides a statistical comparison of German and American prosecutions, focusing mainly on charging, conviction, and sentencing rates for selected crimes. Although German prosecutors are legally obligated to charge all serious cases that are prosecutable and American prosecutors have wide discretion, the report finds that the percentage of cases actually charged is similar for most offenses examined. The overall percentage of defendants convicted is also similar, but the German system has many more trials and acquittals and many fewer dismissed cases. In addition, Germany imposes sentences much shorter than those imposed in the United States. The report discusses the comparability of German and American offense categories and develops a method for comparative statistical analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Ju,Floyd Feeney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1249569532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781249569534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bibliogov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.25d","brand":"Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Ju","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518160843007,"sku":"9781249569534","price":19.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56fdd57f-c570-4100-96bd-5347ef07d3a4.jpg?v=1778733773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/german-and-american-prosecutions-office-of-justice-programs-bureau-of-ju-9781249569534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
