Abstract
AS A REFERENCE BOOK, THIS HANDBOOK CONTAINS COPIES OF UNIFORM LAWS AND INTERSTATE COMPACTS, RELATED REGULATIONS, LEGAL FORMS FOR THE PROPER ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH REGULATIONS, AND OTHER SIMILAR BASIC SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR READY REFERENCE BY OFFICIALS ENGAGED IN INTERSTATE CRIME CONTROL. THIS 1978 VERSION SHOULD BE OF USE TO ALL PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, AND FOR THOSE WORKING TO IMPROVE INTERSTATE CONTROL OF CRIME. SIX MAJOR SECTIONS INCLUDE (1) THE INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR THE SUPERVISION OF PAROLEES AND PROBATIONS, (2) OUT-OF-STATE CONFINEMENT AGREEMENTS, (3) THE INTERSTATE COMPACT ON JUVENILES, (4) EXTRADITION, (5) FORMAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR CLEARING DETAINERS, AND (6) OTHER INTERSTATE CRIME CONTROL ACTS SUCH AS FRESH PURSUIT ACROSS STATE, COUNTY, AND MUNICIPAL LINES, RENDITION OF WITNESSES ACROSS STATE LINES IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS, AND THE INTERSTATE COMPACT ON THE MENTALLY DISORDERED OFFENDER. EACH SECTION DISCUSSES THE LEGISLATION SURROUNDING EACH ISSUE, CASE STUDIES, STATE REGULATIONS, THE FORMS TO BE USED (IF APPLICABLE), AND AMENDMENTS, IF THERE ARE ANY. THE TEXTS OF MANY OF THE ACTS AND INTERSTATE COMPACTS ARE INCLUDED, AS ARE FOOTNOTES AND LEGAL NOTES. (MHP)
