Notice to users--UPDATE

As a result of the substantial budget cut that has affected the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics Online will cease being funded by that agency as of mid-October 2012.

For over 40 years, Sourcebook has served as a standard reference tool in the field of criminal justice. We are proud to have offered reliable data on a variety of crime and justice issues to a wide scope of users.

We are actively seeking ways to maintain the services offered by Sourcebook. Until a solution is found, all content, as it exists today, will continue to be accessible at the current URL. When possible, data updates will be made and we welcome specific requests via email.

We thank you for your support throughout the years and encourage you to contact us if you have questions, comments, or would like to share your thoughts. Your feedback will be kept anonymous and will be helpful in our efforts to procure other funding sources.
