Abstract

LEAA'S STATISTICS DIVISION ENTERED INTO AN INTER-AGENCY AGREEMENT WITH THE U. S. BUREAU OF THE CENSUS TO CONDUCT A SURVEY IN THE SPRING OF 1970 TO DEVELOP A NATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE DIRECTORY.

THE COURTS IN THIS STUDY ARE NOT NECESSARILY WHOLELY OR EVEN PARTLY IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. ALL COURTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED.
