Oregon's Measure 11 Youth Justice Reform Educational Survey

1.In Oregon, there are 21 different crimes that are considered Measure 11 offenses (https://www.oregon.gov/doc/resrch/Pages/measure_11.aspx). You can be convicted of a Measure 11 offense starting at the age of 15 and will serve a mandatory minimum sentence, meaning you will serve every day of your sentence. The least amount of time served under Measure 11 is 70 months (5 years, 10 months). I support changing the starting age of Measure 11 mandatory minimum sentencing in Oregon to:

2.A Measure 11 mandatory minimum sentence conviction starts at 70 months (5 years and 10 months) and goes up to 300 months (25 years) depending on the crime (http://www.classroomlaw.org/files/posts-pages/resources/lesson_plans/general_info.pdf). I support reducing all mandatory minimum sentences by:

25% (70 month minimum sentence would change to 52.5 months)

50% (70 month minimum sentence -> 35 months)

75% (70 month minimum sentence -> 17.5 months)

Keep minimum sentencing the same, no change needed

I do not support Mandatory Minimum Sentencing

3.Youth convicted of a Measure 11 crime, and youth who plea bargained (took a deal) out of Measure 11 to a lesser charge, will have a felony on their adult record as opposed to an expungable juvenile record. Do you support youth felony convictions being cleared from their adult record?

Yes, I support youth Measure 11 convictions and plea deal convictions being an expungable juvenile record

No, youth Measure 11 convictions and plea deal convictions should be on their adult record

4.Almost all individuals convicted of a Measure 11 crime serve every day of their sentence. Some juveniles are eligible for a “second look” while adults do not get a "second look", which is a review hearing that takes place after 50% of the sentence has been served to determine if they are rehabilitated and ready to return to the community. I support second looks to determine eligibility for early release once an individual has served _____% of their sentence:

Second look every 25% of sentence served (i.e. second look every 20 months for an 80 month sentence)

50% (i.e. second look after 40 months for an 80 month sentence)

75% (i.e. second look after 60 months for an 80 month sentence)

I do not support second looks

5.The least amount of time served for Measure 11 convictions are for Robbery II and Assault II (70 months), which accounts for about 30% of all juvenile Measure 11 convictions in Oregon (https://www.oregon.gov/doc/RESRCH/docs/m11juv.pdf). Do you support removing Robbery II and Assault II from the list of 21 Measure 11 offenses?

Yes, Robbery II and Assault II should not be Measure 11 offenses

No, Robbery II and Assault II should be kept Measure 11 offenses

6.Do you support Measure 11 modifications (reforms) to apply retroactively to individuals previously charged with a Measure 11 crime?

Yes, I support Measure 11 modifications to apply retroactively to individuals previously charged with a Measure 11 crime

No, I do not support Measure 11 modifications to apply retroactively to individuals previously charged with a Measure 11 crime
