Abstract
The introduction summarizes the work of the BJA and the BJA Clearinghouse, followed by an outline of the various types or series of documents published by BJA. The latter include program briefs, implementation manuals, training manuals, monographs, bulletins, and fact sheets. The introduction then explains how to use this publications list to obtain BJA documents, as well as how to obtain BJA publications from the Internet. All documents in this publications list were produced by BJA or a BJA grantee organization and are available either from the BJA Clearinghouse or from the grantee organization that produced the document. Twenty-three new documents are listed and summarized. Topics covered include hate crimes, building a better criminal justice system, contracting for indigent defense services, judicial strategies for the mentally ill, the integration of drug testing into a pretrial services system, and descriptions and evaluations of various State and local programs. The listing of all available BJA publications is then provided. Each listing contains the title, type of publication, date of publication, and National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJ) number. The listings are categorized under the following topics: administration/grants/evaluations; adjudication; corrections; crime prevention; law enforcement; and technology and technical assistance. A BJA Clearinghouse document order form is provided.
