Which commission developed recommended standards for criminal justice agencies?

• A. National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals
• B. Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968
• C. Brady Cops
• D. Double Marginality

Answer: (A)

The idea here is about who produced formal recommendations to raise how criminal justice agencies operate across policing, courts, and corrections. The National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals was the body tasked with developing and promoting those recommended standards for agencies at local, state, and federal levels, aiming to standardize practices and improve effectiveness and fairness. The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 is a piece of legislation that funded and organized crime-control efforts, not a commission that sets professional standards. Brady Cops and Double Marginality are not commissions responsible for setting national standards, so they don’t fit.
