Future Directions of the Model Penal Code

Robina Sentencing Law and Policy Program Area co-coordinator Kevin Reitz serves as Reporter for the first-ever revision of the American Law Institute's "Model Penal Code."  This meeting, held at the Robina Institute on December 2-3, 2011, was intended to frame issues and inform preparation for the next drafting cycle with particular emphasis on intermediate sanctions facing offenders who return to the community including restitution, fines, forfeitures, specialized sentencing or diversionary procedures (drugs and mental health courts) postrelease supervision and reentry and collateral consequences.
