Federal Crime Sentencing Guidelines

When determining your legal penalties, a judge will examine the details of your alleged federal crime and impose your federal criminal sentence based on the following guidelines:

  • The nature and circumstances of the offense and your history and characteristics
  • The need for the sentence imposed to:
    • Reflect the seriousness of the offense, to promote respect for the law, and to provide just punishment for the offense
    • To afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct
    • To protect the public from further crimes committed by you
    • To provide you with needed educational or vocational training, medical care, or other correctional treatment in the most effective manner
  • The kinds of sentences available
  • The kinds of sentence and the sentencing range established for:
    • The applicable category of offense committed by the applicable category of defendant as outlined in specific guidelines
  • Any relevant policy statement that adheres to certain US Sentencing Commission guidelines
  • The need to avoid unwarranted sentence disparities among defendants with similar records who have been found guilty of similar conduct
