A 507 page report to Governor Godwin, produced by a joint task force of the Virginia Council on Criminal Justice and the State Crime Commission, outlines 74 goals aimed at streamlining the system, reducing the number of people drawn in, and expanding rehabilitation. It calls for diverting offenders to rehab before trial, allowing summonses in lieu of arrest, trials without defendants in some felonies, enhanced victim rights, and improved police and corrections coordination.
