Comprehensive Crime Control Act

The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 was a law aimed at strengthening the criminal justice system in the United States. It increased penalties for crimes, improved law enforcement tools, and created new measures to combat organized crime, drug trafficking, and white-collar crime. The law also established the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which help ensure fair and consistent sentencing across federal courts. Overall, it was designed to make crime prevention and punishment more effective, reflecting a tougher approach to crime during that time.
