The 26th edition of the Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics was placed online this month by the US Bureau of Justice Statistics. Compiled from more than 100 sources, the Sourcebook is presented in six sections (system characteristics, public opinion, offenses known, arrests, judicial processing, and corrections), containing over 600 tables. "Nearly all the data presented are nationwide in scope and, where possible, they are displayed by regions, States, and cities to increase their value for local decision-makers and for comparative analyses." Additional resources include a subject index, an annotated bibliography, technical appendixes, and a list of source publishers with contact information.
