Abstract
VOLUME I IS DESIGNED TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMISSION STANDARDS AND GOALS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THEM, TO ASSIST POTENTIAL GRANT APPLICANTS WHO NEED TO ADDRESS THE CONCEPT OF STANDARDS IN THEIR PRE-APPLICATIONS, AND TO GIVE OTHER READERS AN INDEX AND INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND VOLUME. AN OVERVIEW STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS THE MAJOR THEMES OF THE COMMISSION REPORTS. THIS SERVES AS AN INTRODUCTION TO SUMMARIES OF EACH REPORT. THE SUMMARIES GO THROUGH THE REPORTS CHAPTER BY CHAPTER AND CAPTURE THE 'FLAVOR' OF THE STANDARDS AND GOALS RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMISSION. A SET OF DISPLAYS ('DOT CHARTS') OF INTERRELATED STATEMENTS CROSS-REFERENCE THE STANDARDS IN ONE REPORT WITH THOSE FROM EACH OF THE OTHER REPORTS. IN ADDITION, A SET OF INDEXES ALLOWS QUICK REFERENCE TO THE POSITIONS OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ON THE SUBJECT MATTER COVERED IN EACH STANDARD. THE CONTENTS OF THE INDEXES ARE DRAWN FROM EACH OF THE REFERENCE PAPERS IN VOLUME II. THE INDEXES THUS SERVE AS THUMB-NAIL SKETCH OF THE CONTENTS OF THOSE PAPERS. THE READER WANTING ONLY A GENERAL INDICATION OF THE DEGREE OF ACCEPTANCE OF A PARTICULAR STANDARD OR GROUP OF STANDARDS CAN GET THIS INFORMATION QUICKLY FROM THE INDEXES, AND THE READER WHO WANTS MORE DETAILED INFORMATION WILL NATURALLY WANT TO REFER TO PORTIONS OF VOLUME II. FOR THE SIX PARTS OF VOLUME TWO, SEE NCJ-30830 THROUGH NCJ-30835. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
