National Association of Sentencing Commissions

The National Association of Sentencing Commissions (NASC) is an organization in the United States that supports state sentencing commissions, which develop and promote fair and effective sentencing policies. NASC provides a platform for these commissions to collaborate, share ideas, and improve their practices. The goal is to enhance the fairness and consistency of sentencing in the criminal justice system, ultimately influencing how judges determine penalties for offenses while considering public safety and rehabilitation. Through research and education, NASC aims to help states adopt better sentencing guidelines and reduce disparities in sentencing.
