Expected Results

The use of CFC sentencing manuals increases consistency and reduces errors in the application of the state’s complex sentencing guidelines. Sentences inconsistent with the guidelines are identified during data entry and referred back to court for review, increasing sentencing consistency. Cost estimates of proposed policy changes based on CFC data assist policy-makers in managing the costs of corrections.
