随着监狱、拘留所和缓刑案件的超载，经济处罚被视为另一种制裁措施。本文利用市法院判决的缓刑数据，进行了回归分析，表明法官在实施经济制裁时倾向于采用理性的自由裁量权，因为低风险罪犯最有可能获得没有监禁的金钱评估，而缓刑和监禁刑期的分配受犯罪行为的影响最大。财政制裁的数额也与犯罪的类型有很大关系。在控制了个人属性和犯罪之后，那些受到经济处罚的人随后被逮捕和监禁的几率明显低于那些被判入狱的人。
With prison, jail, and probation caseloads overloaded, financial penalties appeal as alternative sanctions. Using probation data for cases sentenced in municipal courts, this paper presents regression analyses suggesting that judges tended to employ rational discretion in imposing economic sanctions, for monetary assessments without jail were most likely to be given to low‐risk offenders and assignment of probation alone and jail terms was most strongly influenced by offense. The amount of the financial sanction was also significantly related to the type of crime. Controlling for individual attributes and offense, the odds of subsequent arrest and incarceration were significantly less for those given a financial penalty than for those receiving a jail sentence.
