The United States Sentencing Commission was established
pursuant to provisions of the Comprehensive Crime Control
Act of 1984 (Public Law 98–473, Title II), as amended. The
purposes of the Commission are to establish and amend sentencing guidelines for the United States district courts and
other sentencing policies and practices for the Federal criminal justice system. The Commission is also charged with developing means of measuring the degree to which the sentencing, penal, and correctional practices are effective in meeting
the purposes of sentencing as set forth in new section
3553(a)(2) of Title 18, United States Code, by section 212(a)
of the Act.
The Commission’s mission encompasses a broad spectrum
of research related to prison impact, recidivism, deterrence,
rehabilitation, just punishment, incapacitation, and other
areas. The Commission has specific responsibilities to: develop
and maintain a comprehensive data base in order to analyze
court application of the guidelines; evaluate the effects of
guideline implementation in meeting statutory goals; develop
training programs and provide assistance to probation officers
and others in the criminal justice system on the application
of sentencing guidelines. Various other criminal statutes, such
as the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of
1994 (Public Law 103–322), contain provisions which the
Commission must implement within the guideline system or
require reports to Congress on specific sentencing topics.
