Federal Firearms-Related Offenses: Federal Offenses and OffendersThe data brief notes the association between firearms involvement and an increased severity of sentence as well as a more extensive criminal history for Federal prisoners. The number of offenders sentenced to Federal prison grew 175% from 1982 to 1992. In the 12 months before September 30, 1993, firearms were involved in sentences of almost 7,000 offenders, about a sixth of those sentenced under Federal guidelines. 7/95 NCJ 148950Acrobat file (45K) | ASCII text file (6K) | To order paper version |
