Abstract:
Maintaining fairness in the criminal process is perhaps even more important than deterring crime, and the extent of belief in the basic fairness of the process may well in the long run shape citizen's respect for the law and for law-abiding conduct. This article examines the factors that influence whether defendants go to prison or not.
