The Model Penal Code: Sentencing (MPCS) rewrites the 1962 Model Penal Code’s provisions on sentencing and corrections. Since the 1960s, use of all forms of punishment has exploded, including incarceration, community supervision, supervision revocation, economic sanctions, and collateral consequences of convictions. The MPCS provides an institutional framework for all major forms of punishment. It consists of a sentencing commission, sentencing guidelines, abolition of parole release discretion, appellate sentence review, and controls on correctional population size. It revamps sentencing procedures to inject greater fairness and transparency. It gives state legislators broad advice on how they can reform their systems as a whole, while improving decisions in each case. The MPCS recommends newly crafted limits on punishment through reasoned pursuit of utilitarian crime reduction goals, prohibition of disproportionate sentence severity, individualization of sentences that cuts through even mandatory minimum penalties, refinement of each type of punishment so it can achieve its core purposes, an attack on “criminogenic” sentences that do more harm than good, measures to prioritize and direct correctional resources to offenders who present the greatest risks and highest needs, and creation of institutional capacity to monitor, manage, and improve the entire system over time.

刑法典典:量刑—对集体处罚的可行限制

《刑法典典:量刑》(MPCS)重写了1962年《刑法典》中关于量刑和更正的规定。自1960年代以来,对各种形式惩罚的使用激增,包括监禁,社区监督,监督撤销,经济制裁和定罪附带后果。MPCS为所有主要处罚形式提供了制度框架。它包括一个量刑委员会,量刑指南,取消假释自由裁量权,上诉判决复审以及对惩教人口规模的控制。它修改了量刑程序,以注入更大的公平性和透明度。它为州立法者提供了广泛的建议,说明他们如何可以整体改革自己的系统,同时在每种情况下都可以改进决策。
