Excerpt
Excerpt: Despite the absence of adequate data on the effects of incarceration and other sanctions on convicted offenders’ subsequent recidivism, sentencing trends over the past two decades have moved toward increased determinacy, greater use of mandatory sentences with longer terms, and reduced judicial discretion. A better understanding of how different felony sanctions impact the future behavior of offenders is needed to provide a basis for evaluating the efficacy of current sentencing policies.
