FOREWORD
The Directory of Criminal Justice Issues in the States, now in its 13th year, is a guide to the critical work conducted by State Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs). As a compendium of SAC activities and products, the Directorybriefly describes the research projects, programs, and publications of each SAC in a user-friendly fashion. It is intended to serve as a resource for criminal justice policy makers, practitioners, and researchers through the country.
The Directory reflects the diverse array of criminal justice issues confronting the States and the unique role of the SACs in supporting policy and program development. It documents emerging areas of concern in the justice system, the efforts States have undertaken to address them, and the pivotal role information and analysis plays in the process. It is a key source of information for anyone interested in improving the administration of justice at the local, State, or national level.
On behalf of the Justice Research and Statistics Association, I would like to thank the Statistical Analysis Centers in the States and Territories for their contributions to this edition of the Directory, and more importantly for the pivotal work that each SAC performs. I would also like to express our appreciation to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice for continuing to support the publication and dissemination of the Directory.
I hope you find this Directory useful, and welcome your comments for improving the report.
Roger K. Przybylski President, JRSA Associate Director Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority
