The Shape of Social Reaction
Organizations
American Society of Criminology – ASC information, including links to ASC division. Includes another good link list.
ACJS – Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences – ACJS information and a very good list of links.
NCJRS – Justice Information Center – Lots of criminal justice information. NCJRS is a collection of clearinghouses supporting all bureaus of the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs: the National Institute of Justice, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and the Office for Victims of Crime. It also supports the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
ACLU – American Civil Liberties Union – Good alternate source for criminal justice information.
Criminology
Criminology Today – Commercial site for Frank Schmalleger’s introductory criminology textbook. Well done site (couldn’t we all use some of Prentice-Hall’s money) with wide range of information.
SocioRealm — Criminology on the WWW – Nice site, complete with soundtrack. Unlike many sites, the author of this site recognizes the difference between criminology and criminal justice.

Deviance
Very Crazy Productions! – More weird stuff. Remember, deviance can be fun too!
Cultronix – This is a very interesting site. Not a link list, but I wanted to bring this site to your attention. This site illustrates the potential for internet publishing. Issue two has a few deviance related articles. Each of the issues examines, and causes the reader to question, “normal.”
COPS – Catchy theme song!
From this day forward, I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death. For more than 20 years I have endeavored–indeed, I have struggled–along with a majority of this Court, to develop procedural and substantive rules that would lend more than the mere appearance of fairness to the death penalty endeavor. Rather than continue to coddle the Court’s delusion that the desired level of fairness has been achieved and the need for regulation eviscerated, I feel morally and intellectually obligated simply to concede that the death penalty experiment has failed. It is virtually self evident to me now that no combination of procedural rules or substantive regulations ever can save the death penalty from its inherent constitutional deficiencies.
