The Connecticut Sentencing Task Force was created upon passage of Public Act 06-193, An Act Concerning Criminal Justice Policy and Planning and the Establishment of a Sentencing Task Force.

The primary purpose of the Connecticut Sentencing Task Force is to review criminal justice and sentencing policies and laws of this state for the purpose of creating a more just, effective and efficient system of criminal sentencing.

In accordance with the statute, the Research, Analysis and Evaluation Unit of the Criminal Justice Policy and Planning Division will provide criminal justice data, analyses, and technical assistance to carry out the task force's duties.  For updated information go to the Research, Analysis and Evaluation Unit's project page for the Connecticut Sentencing Task Force.
