THE ROLE OF CRIMINAL SANCTIONS IN ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT

Mark A. Cohen ()

Contemporary Economic Policy, 1989, vol. 7, issue 4, pages 36-46

Abstract: Recently enacted sentencing guidelines were designed to reduce disparity and to increase the average sanction for white-collar offenders. Whether these outcomes will be achieved, however, depends on how closely judges adhere to the new guidelines. We cannot yet determine how the guidelines will be implemented but can learn much about judicial behavior by studying past sentencing practice.
