Douglas A. Berman

Douglas A. Berman writes on criminal sentencing law and policy in the United States, with a strong focus on federal sentencing reform, drug and marijuana policy, and the workings of the U.S. Sentencing Commission and Department of Justice charging practices. Much of the work is published as commentary, essays, and analysis in law-focused outlets rather than traditional empirical studies, aimed at informing legal and policy debates. Prospective students interested in law and public policy around criminal justice, sentencing, and drug law would find this a relevant area of focus.

Publication output has been steady overall with year-to-year fluctuations, averaging about 4-5 publications per year over the last five years without a clear long-term upward or downward trend.
