Abstract

THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE IS THE RESEARCH CENTER OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE ADMINISTRATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. THIS BROCHURE DESCRIBES THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE AND OUTLINES ITS RESEARCH PROGRAMS FOR 1974. THE INSTITUTE'S MISSION IS TO REDUCE CRIME AND IMPROVE THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM BY SPONSORING RESEARCH, DEVELOPING EVALUATION MECHANISMS, AND DISSEMINATING ITS FINDINGS. THE OFFICES OF RESEARCH, EVALUATION, AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER CARRY OUT THESE GOALS AND ARE DELINEATED ON AN ORGANIZATION CHART ALONG WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBDIVISIONS.
