The purpose of the Sentencing Guidelines Commission is to advise
state policy makers on sentencing policies for adult felons and
juvenile offenders.
The goals of the Commission are to monitor and evaluate the effects
of the Sentencing Reform Act and juvenile disposition standards
on the criminal justice system, including institutional populations,
and to assist practitioners in applying the guidelines.
The objectives are to: recommend changes to the standard sentence
ranges and sentencing policies; forecast the institutional population
fluctuations brought on by sentencing law amendments; inform the
public, elected representatives, and criminal justice personnel
regarding the Sentencing Reform Act and juvenile disposition standards
and their effects; assist criminal justice practitioners in applying
the guidelines through publication of manuals; and review the
Criminal Code for necessary statutory changes.
