  played a key role on the Norm Maleng-led taskforce that shaped the Communi
 ty Protection Act and the Sexually Violent Predators Statute\, spearheaded 
 the Sentencing Guidelines Commission\, and advised the state Supreme Court\
 , Bar Association\, and other judicial bodies. His contributions earned wid
 espread state and national recognition\, cementing his legacy as a leader i
 n criminal justice reform.\n\n \n\nAs a professor\, Dave was deeply committ
