Description
Summary:"In 2005, the United States Sentencing Commission examined status points as part of a broader analysis of how well the guidelines' criminal history computation predicts recidivism. This report revisits status points with greater focus and examines their application and significance. The report begins by outlining how criminal history is calculated under the guidelines and by reviewing prior Commission research on the association between criminal history and recidivism. The report then examines how many offenders received status points in the last five fiscal years and compares them to offenders who did not receive status points. Next, the report analyzes the rearrest rates for offenders with and without status points who were released from prison or began a term of probation in 2010. Finally, the report considers how much status points contribute to the criminal history score's prediction of rearrest."--Page 1.
