  Note:

  "Governor Eliot Spitzer established the New York State Commission on Sentencing Reform pursuant to Executive Order No. 10 on March 5, 2007 to conduct a comprehensive review of New York's "current sentencing structure, sentencing practices, community supervision, and the use of alternatives to incarceration" in order to provide the State with "crucial guidance to ensure the imposition of appropriate and just criminal sanctions, and to make the most efficient use of the correctional system and community resources." Following its inaugural session, the Commission conducted a series of meetings where state and national sentencing experts provided an in-depth review of New York's existing sentencing structure and practices, the many challenges facing the system and constructive proposals for reform. In this Preliminary Report, the Commission concludes that while New York has made commendable progress in enhancing public safety through the combined use of limited correctional resources and a broad reliance on community-based alternatives to incarceration, there is tremendous opportunity for improvement." -- Overview, p. II.
