CrimeLynxCreated by a criminal defense attorney to help legal practitioners gather information, CrimeLynx claims to seek out the "best not the most of the web" and provides categories of links such as legal research, forensic and expert, investigation, and media, politics, and commentary.
CybraryDeveloped by Dr. Frank Schmalleger, Director of the Justice Research Association, who has described the Cybrary as the definitive "search engine for CJ professionals and students" ( in an email to author 13 May 2002). The Cybrary references over 12,000 CJ-related web sites, including government and non-government publications, with annotations written by its staff. The "Top 100 Picks" is an added bonus that can help users uncover CJ information gems on the Web.
Florida State University School of Criminology and Criminal Justice Links
Created by a Florida State University instructor, this exhaustive guide uses a smorgasbord approach to hundreds of sites in CJ, delinquency, substance abuse, censorship, policing, forensics, law, CJ education, and CJ in the media. Links to a broad range of interesting listservs are also given.
School of Criminal Justice@UAlbanyThis web site contains a page of links to a great number of sites relating to law and criminal justice. The Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture is available here. This site also includes The Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics Online and the student information page includes a section on job openings in CJ.
Finding CJ Information for Individual or Multiple Countries
Finding CJ information for individual or multiple countries can be challenging. The UNCJIN and WJIN are two organizations whose missions address just that. These Networks were formed to serve as forums for international exchange and international clearinghouses for CJ information. Browsing the UNCJIN yields many links in categories such as CJ organizations by country, terrorism prevention, and global programs against corruption, trafficking in human beings, and organized crime. The WJIN site provides a handy search engine and multiple browsing options (e.g. by region or by language). Current CJ news and an international discussion list are added features. The WCJLN is unique in that librarians and CJ information specialists initiated it. Links to traditional materials, such as online periodicals or reference sources, statistics, as well as international or individual countries' resources, are included.
