What is a Pre-Sentence Investigation Report?
A pre-sentence investigation report, commonly known as a PSI, is a document that is generated by a probation officer for purposes of making a sentencing recommendation to either a judge or a prosecutor. In the pre-sentence investigation report, the probation officer is going to review a number of things related to the case. He or she is going to review things such as educational background, criminal history, the specifics of the offense, and other circumstances related to the defendant. They do so in hopes that the report is given to the judge or the prosecutor to give them a snapshot into a defendant’s life. Therefore, allowing them to understand where the defendant is and where they have been, so that they can use that to fashion an appropriate sentence.
