It is designed to be a truly independent, global research forum operated by representatives of the international community. It serves as a central point of access to a global virtual library containing thousands of professional publications, some of which cannot be found anywhere else. Powerful search engine software from AltaVista provides search capability across thousands of the best online sources carefully selected by our experts and filtered to remove extraneous information. The Network serves as a global information dissemination vehicle. Finding people or organizations with similar interests has never been easier.
Members can search by name, location, country, or area of interest.
According to a recent survey, electronic communications are 5 to 10 times more cost-efficient than conventional means. Most of the financial support comes from the National Institute of Justice, United States Department of Justice and the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the United States Department of State. We will be collecting comments and questions from our members and making improvements based on their recommendations. We expect the beta testing period to last several months. We will send out a special announcement, when the Network becomes fully operational.
