Excerpt
Excerpt: Message from the Deputy Attorney General. The wave of technological advancement that has changed the lives of almost every individual, business, and institution in the Nation has also changed the world of criminal justice?from how we fight crime to how we manage law enforcement resources to the types of crimes we face. New technologies can help criminal justice agencies prevent crime, apprehend criminals, manage offender populations, and protect the public against the threat of terrorism. Because the pace of technological development is so staggering, it is difficult for State and local criminal justice administrators to stay abreast of all the new developments and have the information needed to make critical purchasing and deployment decisions. To aid criminal justice administrators in this effort, the Office of Justice Programs has developed this comprehensive directory of the Justice Department operational, research, and funding programs to help State and local agencies use technology to fight crime and improve public safety.
