engleski term (edited): United States Sentencing Commission

ili ako vam je "komisija" previše strana reč

Povereništvo Sjedinjenih Država (Amerike) za kaznenu politiku

Izricanjem kazni se bave sudije i sudovi, ovo telo se bavi kaznenom politikom:


The United States Sentencing Commission is an independent agency in the judicial branch of
government. Its principal purposes are:

(1) to establish sentencing policies and practices for the
federal courts, including guidelines to be consulted regarding the appropriate form and severity
of punishment for offenders convicted of federal crimes;

(2) to advise and assist Congress and the
executive branch in the development of effective and efficient crime policy; and

(3) to collect,
analyze, research, and distribute a broad array of information on federal crime and sentencing issues,
serving as an information resource for Congress, the executive branch, the courts, criminal justice
practitioners, the academic community, and the public.
