Crime & Criminal Justice

As crime continues to shake up American society, there is an ever-growing need to know more about the law enforcement agencies, criminal justice organizations, and other groups that assist in protecting citizens of this country and now such information can be found on the Internet. Several sites feature extensive data on local, state, federal, and/or international police forces, judicial systems, and corrections facilities. Organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union have also created sites that display useful materials on everything from juvenile law to sexual discrimination to crime prevention. This section features various online resources on crime and criminal justice.
