SESSIONS WERE HELD IN DECEMBER 1978 FOR THE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CRIME CORRELATES AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE (NILECJ). THE PARTICIPANTS WERE INVOLVED IN STRESS RESEARCH, AND SOME WERE STUDYING RELATED CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROBLEMS. THE COLLOQUIUM WAS INTENDED (1) TO PRESENT IDEAS FOR FUTURE RESERACH, USING THE CONCEPT OF STRESS AS A CORRELATE OR DETERMINANT OF CRIME; (2) TO INTRODUCE SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS TO NILECJ AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE ADMINISTRATION AS POSSIBLE SOURCES OF RESEARCH EXPERTISE; AND (3) TO ALLOW INTERCHANGE AMONG RESEARCHES OF IDEAS, METHODS, FINDINGS, AND THEORIES.
