RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Pay or Display: Monetary Sanctions and the Performance of Accountability and Procedural Integrity in New York and Illinois Courts JF RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences FD Russell Sage Foundation SP 128 OP 147 DO 10.7758/RSF.2022.8.1.06 VO 8 IS 1 A1 Martin, Karin D. A1 Spencer-Suarez, Kimberly A1 Kirk, Gabriela YR 2022 UL http://www.rsfjournal.org/content/8/1/128.abstract AB This article proposes the centrality of procedural integrity—or fidelity to local norms of case processing—to the post-sentencing adjudication of monetary sanctions. We draw on insights gained from observations of more than 4,200 criminal cases in sixteen courts in New York and Illinois and find that procedural integrity becomes a focal point in the absence of monetary sanctions paid in full and on time. This examination of the interplay between the sociolegal context and workgroups within courtrooms brings to light how case processing pressure, mandatory monetary sanctions, defendants with pronounced financial insecurity, and judicial discretion inform the role monetary sanctions play in court operations.
