Title: Monitoring Sentencing Reform: Survey of Judges, Prosecutors, & Defense Attorneys and Code Simplification Summary: In the dozen years since the first package of Sentencing Commission proposals were adopted (Senate Bill 2 of the 121st G.A., dealing with adult felons, effective 7.1.96), the General Assembly has debated numerous bills relating to criminal sentencing. Several major bills came from Sentencing Commission proposals, including changes in juvenile dispositions in 2000, traffic law in 2004, misdemeanor sentencing in 2004, and asset forfeitures in 2007. These bills affected several hundred sections of the Revised Code. Of course, scores of other bills touched on criminal penalties during the same period. In the felony area, major changes were enacted regarding predatory sexual offenses and impaired drivers. Every biennium, the Commission reports on the impact of the sentencing reforms that grew out of Commission recommendations. This report focuses on felony sentencing. The Commission surveyed judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys to get a feel for how well the felony sentencing statutes are working. This report recaps the S.B. 2 approach to felony sentencing, notes certain key changes since 1996, and presents practitioners’ opinions on the statutes.

Author: Kunkle, Susan M. Title: Bind Over and Blended Sentencing in Ohio Summary: In the early 1990s, juvenile crime in the US appeared to be increasing in frequency and seemed to be exceedingly more violent. In state after state, legislative efforts increased the mechanisms of transfer, made transfer mandatory for a larger number of offenses, and generally sought to remove more serious and violent juveniles from the special jurisdiction of the juvenile courts. This research is an effort to understand how those legislative actions were operationalized by the juvenile courts, specifically by identifying the relationship between legal and extra legal variables and dispositional outcomes. In Ohio, three outcomes are salient in the disposition of cases of youthful offenders who engage in felony-level, violent, and/or repetitive criminal offending – retain in the juvenile court, a blended sentence that straddles both the juvenile and adult criminal court system, and a transfer of the case from the juvenile to the adult criminal court system. Data were collected from five Ohio Juvenile Courts and the Ohio Department of Youth Services and consist of populations of transferred and blended sentence cases and a sample of felony adjudication cases from the years of 2002 through 2006. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the data; retained in the juvenile court was identified as the reference factor. The use of a weapon, the severity of the offense, if the offense was violent, prior record, the age of the offender at the time of the offense, and the age of the offender at first contact with the juvenile justice system were significant in the decision to transfer a case to the adult criminal court system. The use of a weapon, the severity of the offense, prior record, and the age of the offender at the time of the offense were significant in the decision to dispose of a case through a blended sentence.
