ANNOTATION: The impact of Measure 11 on prosecution, sentencing, and convictions in Oregon is examined. Measure 11 (M11) "impose[s] long mandatory prison terms for 16 designated violent and sex-related offenses, prohibit[s] 'earned time,' and provide[s] for mandatory waiver of youthful offenders to adult court" (p. xiii). Nine chapters follow an executive summary; introduction; evolution of sentencing reform; history of criminal sentencing in Oregon; methodology; case processing before and after M11; case processing for youthful offenders; case processing in three Oregon counties; crime rates before and after M11; and findings and concluding remarks. Appendixes provide: text of M11 legislation; subsequent M11-related legislation; partial text of SB 1049; rank ordering of M11-eligible offenses; and study county characteristics. Overall, fewer offenders have been sentenced for M11-eligible offenses, with a greater number being sentenced for M11-alternative offenses.
