ANNUAL REPORT 2012

2012 ANNUAL REPORT | 1 Dear Friends,

In 2012 we continued to see progress at the national level on establishing more rational and compassionate policies on criminal justice and juvenile justice. The number of individuals in prison has been declining modestly for several years, while the use of incarceration for juveniles has declined sharply over the past decade. While some of this change reflects lower crime rates than in recent decades, in many states these outcomes are the result of deliberate changes in policy and practice.

At The Sentencing Project we’ve been proud to have contributed to the changing public climate on these issues for the past quarter century through our research and public education. In 2012, following a recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court scaling back the use of juvenile life without parole sentences, we undertook a national survey of the more than 2,000 individuals serving such sentences. The findings were illuminating, and disturbing. We found high levels of exposure to violence in the home and community, rates of substance For more information, contact: The Sentencing Project is a national non-profit organization abuse, and severe school disciplinary issues. These findings, of course, don’t condone the crimes committed by engaged in research and advocacy on criminal justice issues. these individuals, but they help us to understand how those behaviors came about and what we might do to be The Sentencing Project proactive in preventing future tragedies. 1705 DeSales Street NW
