Small sample (78 records). The rates shown are based on a modest number of records and carry a wider margin of error than cells with 100+ records. Interpret with appropriate caution.
Guideline compliance — Bedford County
Based on 78 of 78 guideline-eligible records · effective sentence reconstructed (fully-suspended = 0 months) · guideline range per Va. Code § 19.2-298.01 · primary offenses only
How these rates are computed
Guideline-compliance rates use the reconstructed effective sentence: a fully-suspended sentence counts as 0 months (below the guideline range), never as a missing value. This matches the methodology of the full CaseParity report and prevents overstating the share of sentences at or above the guideline range. Rates are computed only over records with a guideline range on file.
This page groups records by the exact code section as recorded, including subsection variants. A purchased report analyzes at the base-section level, so its cohort scope can differ slightly from this page.
