Criminal Justice Research Links

Criminal justice is an interdisciplinary field that involves sociology, psychology, politics, law, and other related fields. The SCCJA library provides efficient ways to research and study this dynamic field. The Internet, for instance, a global network, gives researchers and students a powerful research tool. Consider the Internet a global library. You can access materials through networked entities including government agencies, research foundations, educational institutions, professional organizations, companies, and individuals. You’ll find online resources in formats such as indexes, abstracts, books, articles, illustrations, maps, charts, video clips, and sound recordings. Understand, however, that not all information on the Web is accurate or current. Exercise good judgment when using resources on the Web.
