Juvenile Code-Delinquency |
Measure 11
In 1994, Oregon voters approved Measure 11, an initiative that set mandatory sentences for certain violent and/or sexual crimes. The Oregon state legislature codified this measure in ORS 137.707 in 1995 and has since made some changes to the statute. Currently, it covers murder and listed forms of manslaughter, assault, kidnapping, rape, sodomy, unlawful sexual penetration, sexual abuse, robbery, compelling prostitution, using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct, and arson. Unless the crime and circumstances fit into one of the exceptions, Measure 11 sets minimum mandatory sentences and prohibits sentence reduction for good behavior, parole, or a reduced sentence for any other reason. A court can, however, impose a longer sentence, if allowed by law. This statute also requires that all persons aged 15 and up at the time of the offense who are charged with these crimes be tried as adults. The constitutionality of Measure 11 sentences has been upheld under both the Oregon and U.S constitutions.
