Surveys of Massachusetts sentencing practices

The legislation that established the Massachusetts Sentencing Commission directed the commission to conduct a comprehensive survey of sentencing practices. The survey considers the nature of the sentence imposed following conviction, including sentences to probation or incarceration. The survey also presents the length of sentences imposed when those sentences include a period of incarceration.
