Governor Smith is particularly concerned with the fact that offenders are sentenced to a specific amount of time in prison but are being released well before their sentence expires. He wants to enact a law that requires offenders in his state to serve a substantial portion of their sentences. He is hopeful that these new laws will reduce the discrepancy between the sentence imposed and the actual time served in prison. These laws are known as:
 
  a. mandatory minimum sentencing laws.
  b. truth-in-sentencing laws.
  c. capital sentencing laws.
  d. three strike laws.

Question 2

The lawmakers have their differences of opinion. One thing they certainly agree on is the fact that there are particular crimes with specific circumstances where the offender should serve time in prison. Specifically, the legislature wants to prohibit any defendant convicted of the crimes of aggravated assault, sexual assault, and any manslaughter or murder charge from being placed on probation. This type of sentence is referred to as:
 
  a. mandatory minimum sentencing. c. indeterminate sentencing.
  b. determinate sentencing. d. presumptive sentencing.
