REPORT OF A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT THAT WAS CONCERNED WITH DEVELOPING AN INDEX OF WARRANT SERVICE NATIONWIDE AND AN OVERVIEW OF THEIR SIZES AND OPERATIONAL METHODS.
Abstract
BASED ON SIZE AND REGIONAL LOCATION, A LIST OF 110 CITIES AND COUNTIES WAS DEVELOPED. THESE 110 AGENCIES WERE CONTACTED BY TELEPHONE TO DETERMINE IF THEY HAD A SEPARATE WARRANT UNIT USED PRIMARILY TO SERVE THE WARRANTS ISSUED WITHIN THAT JURISDICTION. ONCE AN AGENCY WAS LOCATED WITHIN SUCH A UNIT, A QUESTIONNAIRE WAS SENT THERE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. OF THE 56 UNITS LOCATED, 47 RESPONDED TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE, AND THEIR RESPONSES ARE REPORTED IN THIS PAPER. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)..KAP
