Tables in section one address opinions on whether statutory mandatory minimums set appropriate tariffs, whether the "statutory safety valve," which permits relief from certain mandatory minimum sentences in low-level drug offenses, should be expanded to include new offenses, a variety of possible statutory and structural changes to the guidelines and the allowable amount of "good time" credit. Section two addresses conduct relevant to sentencing decisions, the standards of proof to be applied for sentencing decisions and variation from the guidelines, and the roles of victims at sentencing. Section three addresses the appropriateness of the guideline range for certain offenses, the importance of the defendant's role in the offense, the importance of criminal history, the availability of sentencing alternatives and the use of supervised release. The forth section addresses the relevance of various defendant characteristics at sentencing, reasons for not relying on departure provisions and the role of "substantial assistance" (defendants assisting in the investigation of a case) in the application of the guidelines. Section 5 addresses factors thought to contribute to sentencing disparities, whether sentencing guidelines have reduced disparities, the reporting of judge-specific sentencing data, and general assessment of the suitability of the guidelines system for achieving the purposes of sentencing.
