Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pardoning Power in the American States a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty, of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Political Science The exercise of the clemency power offers an excellent illustration of the use of administrative discretion. Because of limited constitutional and statutory regulation the practices which have developed in the administration of clemency in the American states are numerous and varied in character. The purpose of this study is to examine and criticize the organization and methods of operation of clemency authorities. The scope of clemency is so broad that it has been necessary to confine this investigation to a limited field. An examination of the administration of clemency in the national government has therefore been left untouched. For the same reason this study docs not deal with the pardoning power of mayors and other local officials in those cases where the exercise of this power for minor offenses has been vested in them. No attempt has been made to deal with the subject of clemency from the standpoint of the sociologist and criminologist. This field of investigation, although of vital importance, lies outside the scope of this study which is limited to an examination of the administration of this power. Valuable assistance and encouragement in this undertaking have been received from Professors Ernst Freund, C. E. Merriam, and Mr. W. F. Dodd. I am also much indebted to pardoning officials of several states for their kindness in furnishing information.
