Abstract
The nine documents related to campus safety cover such topics as digital imaging for critical incidents in schools, preventing and responding to school violence, campus crime reporting, public safety strategies for campuses in a homeland security environment, and school threat assessment. The eight documents on computer and electronic crime address a broad range of topics that encompass technology methods, and information related to the commission and countering of computer-related crime, child pornography on the Internet, and what State and local law enforcement agencies need to combat electronic crime. Seven documents focus on fraud and identity theft, with attention to check and card fraud, fraud control in the health care industry, and a national strategy to combat identity theft. Eight documents pertain to gangs. They include discussions of Federal-local collaboration in investigating and prosecuting urban crime, types of gangs, a guide for parents in recognizing and preventing gang involvement and police response to gangs. Twenty-three documents cover information and geographic systems, which are designed to guide law enforcement in the collection and analysis of crime data presented according to geographic location of various types of crime. Twelve documents address the technology and procedures for sharing information among law enforcement agencies; and 18 documents focus on law enforcement investigation and intelligence. Seventeen documents discuss organized crime, and 14 documents cover terrorism and counterterrorism.
