Criminal Justice Access Mission Statement
Catering to practitioners, scholars and the public, Criminal Justice Access (CJA) brings historical, original, and current criminal justice research, practitioner interviews, and crime data together in an easily accessible and user-friendly format. The field of criminal justice is broad so CJA is devoted toward focusing on issues in policing, Part One Crimes, drugs, gangs, and deviance. By aggregating and summarizing data and information from literature in the criminal justice field, CJA tries to simplify the process of keeping abreast of current criminal justice research and information. I will be publishing content monthly so check back at see what’s new.
As this is my first month of publishing, there are no archived posts, however be sure to check the site categories. For November:
Research Briefs covering a possible new role for detectives, clearance rate differences in gun homicides vs gun assaults, reluctance in talking to the police, and differences in attitudes towards stop and search
