In the wake of Blakely v. Washington (2004) and United States v. Booker (2005), sentencing guidelines are at the forefront of political and judicial debate. These Supreme Court decisions will likely return more discretion to sentencing judges in the federal and several state courts. Little is known regarding the effect of moving from restrictive guidelines to less restraining sentencing policies. In 1998, Florida transformed its sentencing policy from the 1994 Sentencing Guidelines, which were similar to the types of policies recently deemed problematic by the Court, to the Criminal Punishment Code (CPC). The CPC removed the upward limits on judges’ sentencing discretion and introduced more punitive lower limits. This paper analyzes the determinants of sentencing outcomes under each policy in an effort to explore the impact of policy change on the effects of a defendant’s race and ethnicity.
