This panel presents information about the enhanced PSN model implemented since 2018 and the national evaluation being conducted by RTI International and the Justice Research and Statistics Association. The evaluation includes a national assessment including all 94 districts across the U.S. and territories and case studies in 10 carefully selected districts. Both components address outcomes (violent crime, arrests and prosecutions), implementation (e.g., how PSN principles were implemented; partnership composition and functioning) and how implementation is associated with outcomes.

This webinar features a discussion of previously published research on the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2005 Booker decision – which effectively transformed the United States Sentencing Guidelines from a mandatory, to an advisory, system. The presentation will address selected research findings from the last 15 years. Individual participants will briefly review their previous research findings with particular attention paid to the analytic methods used. This will be followed by a brief participant discussion covering the strengths and weaknesses of the various analytic methods and implications for future research. Finally, audience members will be encouraged to join the discussion, ask questions, and offer thoughts and insights on the topic.
