North Carolina's structured sentencing laws went into effect in October 1994 and apply to all felony offenses and most misdemeanor offenses committed on or after that date, and this manual combines structured sentencing law training materials for felonies and misdemeanors into one publication.
Abstract
The manual describes the substance and application of the structured sentencing laws for felonies and misdemeanors according to four parts. The first two parts cover felonies and misdemeanors, while the third part describes additional probation provisions. The fourth part contains sample exercises, answers, and commentary. The manual also includes three appendixes that present felony offense classifications under structured sentencing, misdemeanor offense classifications under structured sentencing, and a survey of structured sentencing case law.
