Federal Sentencing Guidelines: Introductory Commentary to Chapter 8 - Sentencing of Organizations

Holger Spamann,

Jens Frankenreiter

Questions:

1. How do the Federal Sentencing Guidelines address the concerns described in our introductory note on enforcement?

2. Do they profess to aim at optimal deterrence or optimal incapacitation?

3. Do they achieve either? If not, what else do they aim to do, and does that make sense?
