Assignment 2: The Presentence Investigation—
Purpose and Procedure
One of the topics reviewed in this module is the development
and purpose of a PSI report in many criminal justice systems.
Most long-form PSIs contain at least six main sections, which
are as follows:
Part A – A description of the offense
Part B – The defendant's criminal history (broken down into
juvenile and adult)
Part C – Offender characteristics—includes subsections of
personal and family data; physical condition; mental and
emotional health; substance abuse; educational, vocational, and
special skills; employment; and financial condition
Part D – Sentencing options
Part E – Circumstances for departure
Part F – Variance
This organizational structure highlights the critical components
of a PSI. It also offers a good overview of the functions of a
PSI.

How does a PSI help the court to determine an appropriate
sentencing decision?

How does a PSI assist corrections personnel in:
