Abstract
THESE BROAD SUBJECT CATEGORIES ARE FURTHER DELINEATED. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE SUB-CATEGORIES DEALING WITH MANY FACETS OF CORRECTIONS, SUB-CATEGORIES THAT DEAL WITH THE ACTIVITIES OF POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. APPROXIMATELY 20 PERCENT OF THE ENTRIES ARE ANNOTATED. TO FACILITATE RESEARCH ON A GIVEN SUBJECT, EACH CATEGORY IS IDENTIFIED BY NAME AND A DECIMAL NUMBER. BOOKS THAT DEAL WITH MORE THAN ONE SUBJECT ARE CROSS-REFERENCED IN THOSE OTHER SUBJECT CATEGORIES. THERE IS ALSO A CROSS REFERENCED SUBJECT INDEX AS WELL AS AN AUTHOR INDEX. A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE JOURNALS TOGETHER WITH THEIR PUBLISHER'S ADDRESSES AND FREQUENCY OF PUBLICATION APPEARS AT THE REAR OF THE BOOK. THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY CONTAINS MOST TITLES PERTAINING TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE THAT WERE PUBLISHED PRIOR TO 1975.
