Measure 11 Sentencing Reform in Oregon: Implementation and System Impact, 1990-1999
This study explored the implementation and impact of
Measure 11 (passed by Oregon voters in 1994), which imposed long
mandatory prison terms for 16 designated violent and sex-related
offenses, prohibited "earned time," and provided for mandatory waiver
of youthful offenders to adult court. Measure 11 penalties were longer
than those imposed under sentencing guidelines. Juveniles aged 15
years or older were also subject to the measure. The researchers
addressed the implementation and impact of the measure on prosecution,
sentencing, and convictions, both statewide and in three separate
counties based on the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (OCJC) data
and the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) data. Variables
include offender characteristics, plea trial information, number of
convictions, prison term for convictions, severity of offense,
M11-eligible and alternate offense, and description of most severe
offense.
