The first phase of the research involved building a\r\nframework for understanding the types of state-level sentencing and\r\ncorrections policies in use between 1975 and 2002. Phase two of the\r\nproject consisted of state-level data collection for all 50 states for\r\nall study years, 1975 to 2002.
