BEV BUTULA: Criminal justice reference site a worthwhile stop ...

The National Criminal Justice Reference Service ?is a federally funded resource offering justice and drug-related information to support research, policy, and program development worldwide.?

The website includes a wide variety of publications, library abstracts, topical summaries, and a list of related links/websites.

To browse the site?s various topics, the researcher can select the ?A-Z topics? link. Choosing an area of interest will produce a list of questions and answers specific to that topic. The webpage will also include links to relevant free and fee based publications. As an added service, the webpage includes a ?Find in a library link? providing possible alternative methods for obtaining the article.

The researcher may also choose one of the broader subject-based menu options, including corrections, courts, crime, crime prevention, drugs, justice system, juvenile justice, law enforcement, and victims. From there, the user can conduct a keyword search or review the various subcategories to locate information.

The website contains a wealth of data and general information related to the various areas of criminal justice and is a worthwhile stop when conducting this type of research. If the material is of particular interest, users can also register to receive various newsletters and notifications.
