USSC’s Latest Annual Report

The U.S. Sentencing Commission has just released its 2002 Annual Report, which presents an overview of major Commission activities and accomplishments for fiscal year 2002. Also now available is the Commission’s 2002 Sourcebook of Federal Sentencing Statistics, which provides descriptive figures, tables and charts, and selected district, circuit and national sentencing data. Importantly, each of these documents repeatedly explains that “[t]he data contained in this report pertain solely to cases sentenced under the federal sentencing guidelines PRIOR to the enactment of the PROTECT Act, Pub. L. 108–21.”
