The court use of victim supplied information by sentencing authorities in the process of sentencing is called ________.

  • A.Truth in sentencing
  • B.Presenter investigation
  • C.Victim Impact Statement
  • D.Sentencing

Answer: C

The use by sentencing authorities, in the process of sentencing, of information supplied by the victim is called a victim impact statement. It tells the court how the crime has affected the victim physically, emotionally and financially, and the court may consider it in deciding the sentence.

Truth in sentencing is a policy that offenders serve most of their sentence, a presentence investigation is a report on the offender by the probation officer, and sentencing is the whole process of deciding punishment.
