NIJ has developed a system for electronic dissemination of criminal justice information that is truly global in focus and access. Each site focuses on different aspects of the information base. The International Center Web site targets domestic access to international crime and justice information and highlights the impact of transnational crime on state-side jurisdictions. The International Library is accessible to practitioners and researchers from both the U.S. and abroad.
Users entering through any site can access all materials.
Each site will refer users to the other two locations, and users will move through the seamless network. Both the International center and WJIN will develop forums for discussions ranging from full-blown conferences to chat rooms. Consistent with the differentiation of missions, the International Center home page will focus on providing a forum for domestic researchers and practitioners to engage topics of interest while WJIN will convene international colleagues for discussion and moderated presentations.
