The disparity in charging decisions prior to the sentencing of felony drug offenders is investigated in this report. Contents include: executive summary; introduction; discretion in the context of sentencing guidelines; drug offender charging and sentencing options; analysis part A: analysis of interview data; analysis part B: analysis of offender case files; and discussion and conclusions. "Overall, the findings of this study present little evidence that race or ethnicity play an important role in the case processing of drug offenders in Washington State" (p.71).
