Abstract

Criminal syndicates, not individual offenders, are our major domestic danger. Members and employees of these syndicates are not dealt with adequately under traditional sentencing laws. The Model Sentencing Act, drafted by the Advisory Council of Judges of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, provides for extended terms, up to thirty years, for persons deemed "dangerous" under the criteria specified in the Act, and for sentences far shorter than those now prevailing for persons held to be not dangerous.
