Criminology, Deviance, and Justice Links

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.

A Different Look At DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education)

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!
