Oregon Laws Ch 473 (SB 914) Directs that presentence
investigations provide: "an analysis of what disposition is most likely
to reduce the offender's criminal conduct, explain why that disposition
would have that effect and provide an assessment of the availability to
the offender of any relevant programs or treatment in or out of custody"
2005
Oregon Laws Ch 474 (SB 919) Directs the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission
to "conduct a study to determine whether it is possible to incorporate

commission's sentencing guidelines and, if it is possible, the means of
doing so."

Oregon Laws Chapter 669 (SB 267) This law encourages
the Department of Corrections to use "Evidence-Based" treatment programs
2001
Oregon Laws Chapter 936 (HB 3372) Requires the Oregon
Department of Administrative Services to designate a criminal justice agency
to operate a criminal justice information program to coodinate data and
to further the functions prescribed by 1997 Or Laws Ch 433:
1997 Oregon Laws Chapter 433
(HB 2229) This law charges criminal justice agencies in
Oregon to gather, maintain, and share data so as to allow us to see correlations
between sanctions and programs and future criminal conduct.
1989
Oregon Laws Chapter 790, § 7a (ORS 135.980) Required
the Department of Corrections to establish a directory of public and private
programs for crime reduction and the claims of effectiveness of those programs.
The DOC was to report a plan for measuring the actual effectiveness of
the programs to the next legislative session. Almost all listed programs
answered "Claim of effectiveness" with "None." The "plan" "reported" to
the next session was modest, unenthusastically outlined, reported virtually
invisibly, and completely ignored. Today's DOC
directory is robust, web-based and state-wide -- but still lacks any
assessment of effectiveness.
