| Sentencing Guidelines Worksheet Changes, 2007 |
|
| Below are the changes to the worksheet made in 2007:
- In December 2007, the MSCCSP began distribution of version 1.4 of the
Maryland Sentencing Guidelines Worksheet.
- The revised worksheet added a field
for the State Identification (SID) number (see the additional field highlighted
in yellow below). The SID number is a unique identifier issued by the CJIS
Central Repository. An SID number is assigned to every individual who is
arrested or otherwise acquires a criminal history record in Maryland, and is
also used as an identifier in the Department of Public Safety and Correctional
Services (DPSCS) management information systems. The SID number can be easily
located on each page of the Maryland Rap Sheet above the offender’s name.
- The MSCCSP is working to match sentencing data with corrections data
maintained by the DPSCS. The ability to match an individual’s MSCCSP record to
DPSCS data will be greatly increased by the collection of the SID number. This
will permit the MSCCSP to estimate the impact of proposed sentencing policy
changes on the correctional population.
