Structured sentencing is one model of criminal punishment. Structured sentencing models include determinate sentencing, voluntary/advisory sentencing guidelines, and presumptive sentencing. Although each structured sentencing model has some advantages in better accomplishing proportionality, equity, and social debt when compared to indeterminate sentencing, these models are not without criticism, and there is little evidence to indicate that any of these models will be effective long-term crime-reduction strategies.
