Reflecting the authors' belief that research and information gathering have become nonlinear, fluid processes, this book is designed so that criminal justice researchers can access it at any point in their work. The authors describe the evolution of criminal justice as a discipline, its links to related disciplines, the authorities in the field, the changes wrought by the Internet, and the types and sources of criminal justice information. They include Library of Congress subject headings for the topics and types of the printed reference works discussed. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
