This article discusses the enactment of the Sentencing Reform Act by the United States Congress, the enactment of sentencing guidelines by the South Korean legislature, and the effects of these enactments on the U.S. and on South Korea. The Sentencing Reform Act in the U.S. was the culmination of almost a decade of hearings, committee mark-ups and floor consideration in the U.S. Congress begun in 1976 with the introduction of a bill by Senator Edward M. Kennedy authorizing the appointment of a commission for the purpose of promulgating sentencing guidelines for court consideration. After enactment in 1984, for over twenty years sentencing power was gradually consolidated into the federal prosecutor’s office until in 2005 the United States Supreme Court in a landmark decision deemed unconstitutional the mandatory nature of the sentencing guidelines. However, as the United States Supreme Court was ending the twenty year legislative experiment in mandatory sentencing, the South Korean legislature was beginning the process of enacting legislation that would lead to strict sentencing guidelines for South Korea.
The historical background and current approaches of South Korea and the United States in the sentencing guideline area are of interest to prosecutors, the judiciary and public defenders in South Korea. The bulk of the article focuses on the U.S. experience as a guide for the South Korean judiciary, especially due to the current divergence between the U.S. and South Korea in this area. While the United States judicial system is moving decisively towards a system giving greater discretion to the judiciary, South Korea is moving decisively towards a sentencing system giving greater power to the prosecution. In analyzing this divergence, this article presents the original reasons behind mandatory sentencing in the United States, the long debate in the United States as to the efficacy of mandatory sentencing and the current course charted by the U.S. Supreme Court. The article also briefly presents and discusses the history of sentencing guidelines in South Korea, and discusses whether the U.S. experience can be informative in the debate as to whether sentencing guidelines are suitable for the issues currently facing South Korea.
