Definición

  • Determinate sentencing refers to the use of a predetermined range of punishments for criminal offenses, generally set forth by legislative action. It is distinguished from indeterminate sentencing, which gives judges broad discretion in imposing a variety of possible punishments, including fines, probation, restitution, and incarceration. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community Corrections; Determinate Sentencing]
