Bill overview
The DC CRIMES Act aims to reform juvenile justice in the District of Columbia by limiting the age at which a youth can be designated as an offender to 18, establishing a public website to track juvenile crime statistics, and restricting the Council’s ability to modify existing criminal sentencing guidelines. Specifically, the bill updates definitions of ‘youth offender,’ mandates the creation and maintenance of a detailed juvenile crime data website, and prevents the Council from altering mandatory minimum sentences or sentencing guidelines.
