The Criminal Justice Research Guide is the best place to start. It is a comprehensive source for all things related to crime or criminal justice.

The guide contains tabs for recommended databases, articles and journals, administration and law as well as statistical sources.

The Books & Reference tab has information for locating books as well as reference sources.
- Criminology books are located in the 364 call number range on the 2nd floor.
The Articles & Journals tab links to specific online journals, trade publications, and databases.
- Criminal Justice Abstracts (CJA) is the best subject-specific database.
- Current criminal justice periodicals are located on the 1st floor in the periodicals area.
  - We don't carry many current PRINT titles.
The Administration and Law tab has a link to CrimeSolutions.gov.
- rates the effectiveness of programs and practices; what works, what doesn't.
