Subject: | 35th Anniversary PA Commission on Sentencing |
In the very near future, we will be introducing a Resolution recognizing the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing on its 35th Anniversary. The primary purpose of the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing was the creation of a consistent and rational Statewide sentencing policy that would increase sentencing severity for serious crimes and promote fairness and uniformity in sentencing practices. Commonwealth judges utilize the guidelines as a common reference point for sentencing similar offenders convicted of similar crimes. Please join us in co-sponsoring this Resolution. |
