Overview
This top-selling product is now available in a new 2016 edition that contains amendments effective November 1, 2016 and earlier. These guidelines will apply to more than 90 percent of all felony and Class A misdemeanor cases in the federal courts. The U.S. Sentencing Commission has ongoing responsibilities and authority to monitor the guidelines, submit to Congress appropriate modifications of the guidelines and recommended changes in criminal statutes, and establish education and research programs. As new criminal statutes are enacted, and more is learned about what motivates and controls criminal behavior, congressional awareness has mandated that this dynamic field requires continuous review by an expert body to revise sentencing policies. This resource may be utilized by Federal investigators, attorneys, and judges, plus criminal attorneys, public defenders, American citizens, and Federal, State, and Municipal law enforcement. Additionally, students pursuing research in criminal sentences, criminology, and criminal justice reform may be interested in this volume for research.
