This review is from: Definitive Guide to Criminal Justice and Criminology on the World Wide Web, The (Paperback)

Generation D criminal justice and criminology professionals will bounty hunt unsolved crimes for rewards; communicate with colleagues worldwide by e-mail; train in computer crime, forensics and Internetwide security; and web surf such sites as gangs, stolen bike registry, and terrorism. THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND CRIMINOLOGY ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB therefore suggests becoming comfortable with such web directories, maps, search engines, and site lists as Gateway to the World, The Librarian's Guide to the Internet, Whowhere?, and the 18+ million World E-Mail Directory addresses. The book also shows keeping current nowadays as clicking into anti-virus sites; career advice, employment, and resume posting services; discussion lists and newsgroups; e-journals and 'zines; the Justice Information Center; the Justice Research Association; the National Criminal Justice Reference Service abstracts, international criminology links, JUSTINFO publication, and statistics; The 'lectric Law Library; and the weekly updated Talk Justice. This guide by The Criminal Justice Distance Learning Consortium is unique but does share common concerns with Don MacLeod's THE INTERNET GUIDE FOR THE LEGAL RESEARCHER.
