The new laws are codified in Article SIB of Chapter 15A of the North Carolina General Statutes. This manual describes the substance and application of the new sentencing laws for felonies. The manual is divided into five sections: • Section I describes the steps required to apply the new sentencing laws. • Section n describes additional sentencing provisions. • Section m describes additional probation provisions. • Section IV describes additional post-release supervision provisions. 10 Section V provides example exercises, answers, and commentary. There are also two appendices. Appendix I includes selected AOC forms relevant to structured sentencing, and Appendix IT lists felony offense classifications under structured sentencing. A separate manual has been prepared for misdemeanor sentencing. This manual is entitled, "Structured Sentencing for Misdemeanors: Training and Reference Manual", and is available from the North Carolina Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission . • 1 FIGURE A FELONY PUNISHMENT CHART (NUII'1Ibers shown are in months) PRIOR RECORD LEVEL • DISPOSITION Revised: 04·05·94 • 2 SECTION I: IMPOSING SENTENCES FOR FELONS UNDER' STRUCTURED SENTENCING • The new sentencing laws use a Felony Punishment Chart which classifies offenders based on the seriousness of their crime and on the extent and gravity of their prior record (see Figure A and the inside back cover). Based on this classification, the chart then prescribes the types of sentences which may be imposed (active, intennediate or community punishments) and the range of minimum sentence lengths which may be selected. Following is a detailed description of the steps required to impose felony sentences under the new structured sentencing laws. STEPS REQUffiED TO DETERMINE THE SENTENCE FOR FELONIES 1. DETERMINE THE

  • Threats and Consent
    Wrongs and Crimes Chapter 11 Threats and Consent Note: This is a draft chapter from a long book on criminalization entitled Wrongs and Crimes that I am in the process of completing. It is one of four chapters on consent. I hope that it is reasonably self-standing (though, obviously, all apparent egregious errors are shown to be brilliant insights in other parts of the book). Victor Tadros Threats and deception can undermine valid consent. When do they do so? Why do they do so? What affects the gravity of the resultant wrongdoing? And when should the conduct that the victim does not consent to be criminalized as a result? Although these questions are general I will explore them in the important and difficult realm of wrongful penetrative sex. This chapter is concerned with threats, the next with deception. Work on sexual wrongdoing generates sharp disagreement, not only about what we should think, but also about how we should think about it. Some are hostile to the use of my standard philosophical method in this context, especially the use of unusual hypothetical cases. Using this method, some think, trivializes sexual wrongdoing, or fails to show respect to victims of wrongdoing. In employing this method, I aim at a clearer and deeper grasp of sexual wrongdoing. As we will see, the nature and scope of sexual wrongdoing is by no means obvious. We owe it to victims and potential victims of sexual wrongdoing to use the tools that are best suited to develop a clear and deep grasp of that wrongdoing.

    Report of North Carolina Crimes to the Criminal Recodification Working Group Prepared by North Carolina Administrative office of the courts January 31, 2019 About the North Carolina Judicial Branch The mission of the North Carolina Judicial Branch is to protect and preserve the rights and liberties of all the people as guaranteed by the Constitutions and laws of the United States and North Carolina by providing a fair, independent and accessible forum for the just, timely and economical resolution of their legal affairs. About the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts The mission of the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts is to provide services to help North Carolina’s unified court system operate more efficiently and effectively, taking into account each courthouse’s diverse needs, caseloads, and available resources. Introduction The North Carolina General Assembly established the Criminal Law Recodification Working Group in 2017. This informal group, co-chaired by Representative Dennis Riddell and Senator Andy Wells, has been tasked with developing strategies to streamline and simply the state’s criminal code. In 2018, the General Assembly enacted S.L. 2018-69 which requires multiple agencies to provide information to the Working Group. Specifically, the legislation requires the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to identify and list all state crimes that meets one or more of the following criteria: (1) The statute is duplicative. (2) The statute is inconsistent with other statutes, rarely charged, fails to state a mens rea, or contains undefined terms. (3) The statute appears to be obsolete. (4) The statute has been held to be unconstitutional by an appellate court.

  • Know Your Rights When Reporting Wrongs
    KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHEN REPORTING WRONGS Whistleblower disclosures can save lives as well as billions of taxpayer dollars. They play a critical role in keeping our government honest, efficient and accountable. Recognizing that whistleblowers root out waste, fraud and abuse, and protect public health and safety, federal laws strongly encourage employees to disclose wrongdoing. Federal laws also protect federal employees from retaliation. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) plays an important role in helping whistleblowers. OSC is an independent agency that protects federal employees from prohibited personnel practices (PPPs), including whistleblower retaliation and unlawful hiring practices, such as nepotism. OSC also provides an independent, secure channel for disclosing and resolving wrongdoing in federal agencies. This guide provides a summary of whistleblower protections and avenues available to employees to disclose wrongdoing. For more information, please visit OSC’s website at www.osc.gov. Disclosures of Wrongdoing Where can I report wrongdoing? Current and former federal employees and applicants (henceforth “federal employees”) can report on any of the following types of wrongdoing: • a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, • gross mismanagement, • a gross waste of funds, • an abuse of authority, • a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, or • censorship related to scientific research if censorship meets one of the above-listed categories. Federal employees have many options on where to disclose wrongdoing, including but not limited to, making disclosures to supervisors or someone higher up in management; the agency’s Inspector General (IG); OSC; or, Congress. For whistleblower disclosures involving classified national security information or other information protected from public release by law (e.g.

Newhouse Kant’s Typo, and the Limits of the Law Abstract This dissertation develops a Kantian philosophical framework for understanding our individual obligations under public law. Because we have a right to do anything that is not wrong, the best interpretation of Immanuel Kant’s Universal Principle of Right tracks the two ways—material and formal—in which actions can be wrong. This interpretation yields surprising insights, most notably a novel formulation of Kant’s standard for formal wrongdoing. Because the wrong-making property of a formally wrong action does not depend on whether or not the action in question has been prohibited by statute, Kant’s legal philosophy is consistent with a natural law theory of public crime.

    2015 Punishment Chart for North Carolina Crimes and Motor Vehicle Offenses ROBERT L. FARB The School of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill works to improve the lives of North Carolinians by engaging in practical scholarship that helps public officials and citizens understand and improve state and local government. Established in 1931 as the Institute of Government, the School provides educational, advisory, and research services for state and local governments. The School of Government is also home to a nationally ranked graduate program in public administration and specialized centers focused on information technology and environmental finance. As the largest university-based local government training, advisory, and research organization in the United States, the School of Government offers up to 200 courses, webinars, and specialized conferences for more than 12,000 public officials each year. In addition, faculty members annually publish approximately 50 books, manuals, reports, articles, bulletins, and other print and online content related to state and local government.
