Your first
choices should be the following databases: Criminal
Justice Periodicals, LegalTrac,
LexisNexis, Westlaw Campus
Research.
Thomas
is more highly specialized than the databases listed above, but
may equally be a "first choice" if you are seeking that
type information--governmental--see description for details.
A secondary
choice is National
Criminal Justice Reference Service.
BOOKS: Refer
to the Books section of this site <click

Note:
To a greater
extent than many other databases, criminal justice and law databases
each have their own flavor, both in terms of their search interface
and their content. One is not necessarily better or worse than another--just
different. |
