A MAIN AND ADDED ENTRY INDEX AND A SUBJECT INDEX FOR THE APPROXIMATELY 11,000 ABSTRACTS OF CRIME AND DELINQUENCY LITERATURE PREPARED BY THE NATIONAL COUNCIL ON CRIME AND DELINQUENCY BETWEEN 1968 AND 1975 ARE PRESENTED.
Abstract
THIS DOCUMENT IS A SUCCESSOR TO AN EARLIER INDEX TITLED 'CRIME AND JUVENILE DELINQUENCY,' WHICH PROVIDED ACCESS TO HOLDINGS WHICH WERE AVAILABLE ON MICROFILM. THIS MAKES AVAILABLE THE ENTIRE FILE OF ABSTRACTS PRODUCED BY THE INFORMATION CENTER STAFF OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL DURING THIS 7-YEAR PERIOD. ABOUT 50 MAJOR SUBJECT CATEGORIES FORM THE BASIS OF THE COLLECTION. THE MAIN AND ADDED ENTRY INDEX INCLUDES GEOGRAPHICAL TERMS, CORPORATE ENTRIES, NAMES OF ASSOCIATIONS, AND PERSONAL NAMES (BIOGRAPHIES AND AUTHORS AND RESEARCHERS WHOSE WORK ARE DISCUSSED AT LENGTH). U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ARE INDEXED BY NAME AS WELL AS SUBJECT; STATE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS BY SUBJECT ONLY. DOCUMENTS INCLUDE GOVERNMENTAL AND PRIVATE REPORTS, RESEARCH STUDIES, CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS, SPEECHES, AND A VARIETY OF OTHER MATERIALS. MOST OF THE DOCUMENTS WERE PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES, ALTHOUGH A LARGE NUMBER OF MATERIALS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED FOR THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES, THE NETHERLANDS, AND OTHER NATIONS. THE INDEX REFERS THE READER TO AN ABSTRACT ACCESSION NUMBER. TWO CONCORDANCES RELATE ABSTRACT ACCESSION NUMBERS TO DOCUMENT IDENTIFIER NUMBERS AND VICE VERSA. (GLR)
