Abstract

Abstract Sources of statistics on crime and correction are to be found with the aid of both general bibliographies and a series of special bibliographies in this field. The primary sources are the official reports of federal, state, and local agencies engaged in the various aspects of law enforcement, criminal justice, and corrections. Many special surveys have been made over the past 40 years supplying valuable data on crime. Some of these relate to particular problems, such as, homicide, narcotics, sex offenders, parole, and juvenile delinquency. Crime information, today, still comes from many scattered sources and lacks uniformity. More useful statistics will be available when each state assumes responsibility for developing reliable and complete crime statistics within its own borders in accordance with accepted uniform classifications.
