Sentencing Reform Act 1984  

Définition(s)

  • The passage of the Sentencing Reform Act (SRA) of 1984, which mandated the creation of the U.S. Sentencing Commission and led to the adoption of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, marked a fundamental change in the federal government's approach to crime and criminal justice policy. The bipartisan initiative prospectively ended the use of indeterminate sentencing and parole release within the federal system and has substantially influenced the method and mode of prosecution, defense and, ultimately, punishment for those charged with federal crimes.
