Abstract
THESE ARTICLES, HANDBOOKS, GUIDES, PAPERS, REPORTS, STUDIES, AND COLLECTIONS OF STANDARDS AND LAWS ARE DIVIDED INTO 10 SUBJECT AREAS. THE GENERAL INFORMATION CHAPTER INCLUDES ISSUES, CONCEPTS, AND ASSESSMENTS OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS, ALONG WITH THEIR CAPABILITY AND POTENTIAL, WHILE ANOTHER CHAPTER COVERS STATE PLANS DEVELOPED IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS. OTHER SECTIONS COVER ISSUES OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND THE GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE LAW AND ORDER, ALONG WITH LIABILITY, CONFIDENTIALITY, AND THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1975, AS WELL AS SECURITY AND PRIVACY PLANS FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS. CITATIONS ALSO COVER CASE MANAGEMENT OF COMPUTERIZED CRIMINAL HISTORIES (CCH), OFFENDER-BASED TRANSACTION STATISTICS AND CASE MANAGEMENT OF THE PROSECUTOR'S MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (PROMIS). THE LAST THREE CHAPTERS COVER AUTOMATED TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING COURT ADMINISTRATION, JUVENILE JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, WITH EMPHASIS ON SENSITIVE PRIVACY AND SECURITY ISSUES, AND DESCRIPTIONS OF THE OFFENDER-BASED STATE CORRECTIONS INFORMATION SYSTEM (OBSCIS). APPENDIXES INCLUDE REPORTS OF THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMISSION ON STANDARDS AND GOALS AND THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON STANDARDS AND GOALS, AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. ALL LISTED DOCUMENTS WERE SELECTED FROM THE NCJRS DATA BASE AND PUBLISHED FOR THE MOST PART IN THE 1970'S. NO PRICING IS GIVEN. A TITLE INDEX IS INCLUDED.
