Sentencing Commission Quarterly Report

For all you data folks...(h/t to Doc Berman over at Sentencing Law And Policy)
US Sentencing Commission Final Quarterly Report
As part of its ongoing mission, the United States Sentencing Commission provides
Congress, the judiciary, the executive branch, and the general public with data extracted and
analyzed from sentencing documents submitted by courts to the Commission.

1 Data is reported on an annual basis in the Commission’s Annual Report and Sourcebook of Federal Sentencing Statistics.

2 After the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Booker on January 12, 2005,
which rendered the sentencing guidelines advisory instead of mandatory, many people expressed
an interest in knowing what changes, if any, in federal sentencing practices would result. The
Commission responded by reconfiguring its data collection, analysis, and reporting efforts to
provide real-time data reporting from the submitted documents.
