(4) FEDERAL SENTENCING DISPARITY, USA, 2005-2014_BJS 2015
This Report examines PATTERNS OF FEDERAL SENTENCING DISPARITY AMONG WHITE AND BLACK OFFENDERS, by sentence received, and looks at judicial variation in sentencing since _Booker v. United States_, regardless of race. It summarizes U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, discusses how approaches
of other researchers to the study of sentencing practices differ from this approach, defines disparity as used in this study, and explains the methodology. This working paper was prepared by Abt Associates for BJS in response to a request by the Department of Justice’ s Racial Disparities Working Group to design a study of federal sentencing disparity. Data are from BJS’s Federal Justice Statistics Program, which
annually collects federal criminal justice processing data from various federal agencies. The analysis uses data mainly from the U.S. Sentencing Commission.

(7) RELATED TO ISSUE # (6): WORLD REPORT ON VIOLENCE AND HEALTH
The World Health Organization launched the first _World report on violence and health_ on October 3rd, 2002.
Since then, more than 30 governments have organized national launches or policy discussions about the Report, and resolutions endorsing the Report and calling for its implementation have been passed in a number of fora, such as the World Health Assembly, the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights, and the African Union.
_The World report on violence and health_ is the first comprehensive review of the problem of violence on a global scale – what it is, whom it affects and what can be done about it.
Three years in the making, the report benefited from the participation of over 160 experts from around the world, receiving both peer-review from scientists and contributions and comments from representatives of all the world’s regions.

SYSTEM
The National Crittenton Foundation [12], in partnership with the National Women’s Law Center [13], has released “Gender Injustice: System-Level Juvenile Justice Reforms for Girls [14].”
The report presents research and data showing that, in the last two decades, girls’ presence in the juvenile justice system has increased at all stages of the process. Key findings include the following:
* Despite overall declining juvenile arrest rates, arrests for girls have increased by 45 percent.
* Court caseloads for girls have increased 40 percent.
* The number of girls in detention has increased 40 percent.
* Post-adjudication probation increased 44 percent.
* Post-adjudication placement increased 42 percent.
The report makes nine reform recommendations, including decriminalizing girls’ behavior linked to trauma, engaging families, addressing unnecessary detention of girls, and enacting trauma-informed approaches
and evidence-informed practices.

(8) Collating Longitudinal Data on Crime, Victimization and Social Attitudes in England and Wales:
A New Resource for Exploring Long-term Trends in Crime A recent article in the British Journal of Criminology, authored by Will Jennings et al..
ABSTRACT: Exploring long-term trends in crime and criminal justice is a multifaceted exercise.
This article introduces the construction and methodological benefits of a series of new data sets that amalgamate approximately 30 years of public data on crime, victimization, fear of crime, social and political
attitudes with national socio-economic indicators in England and Wales.
The data operate at both an aggregate and individual level and will be available for public use (and modification) from autumn 2015. Here, we outline the contours and contents of the data set and
highlight the importance of using longitudinal data in exploring theoretical and empirical questions about crime, victimization and social attitudes.
