FACT: There were 103,264 Punishment Code scoresheets with offense dates on or after October 1, 1998 entered into the sentencing scoresheet database, as of August 31, 2001.
FINDINGS:
- The number of Code scoresheets received by month of sentence has remained fairly constant from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001 (Figure 1).
- For the time period July 2000 through June 2001, Code scoresheets represent over eighty-seven percent (87.4%) of the total scoresheet submissions. In the month of June 2001, more than ninety percent (91.2%) of the scoresheets represented sentencing events under the Florida Criminal Punishment Code (Table 2).
- More than thirty-two percent (32.5%) of the offenders sentenced under the Code were considered "youthful offenders" at the time of sentencing (Table 3). Of the 2,605 true juveniles (under 18 at the time of their offense) transferred to adult court under the Code, 941 of the offenders were age sixteen or younger (Table 4).
- There were 946 juveniles sentenced under the Code for violent offenses, including, murder/manslaughter, sex offenses, robbery, and other violent personal offenses. These violent offenses represent over thirty-six percent (36.3%) of all offenses of juveniles (Table 4). Of the 946 violent juvenile offenders, 446, or 47.1%, received a state prison sanction.
- The gender distribution of the offenders sentenced under the Code are similar to previous years sentencing events. Nearly eighty-two percent (81.5%) of all scoresheets were for male offenders (Table 6), and 54.9% were for white offenders (Table 7).
