BJA provides assistance to state and local governments through innovative programs to improve and strengthen the nation's criminal justice system, with special emphasis on drug control strategies to support nationwide antidrug policies. BJA distributes funds to state and local criminal justice systems through its Formula Grant and Discretionary Grant Programs. In addition to funding assistance, BJA provides technical support and training and disseminates information to the criminal justice community. Key to BJA's information dissemination activities is the publication of documents that detail promising and proven programs in the fight against drug abuse and violent crime. This guide contains a listing of currently available BJA publications. These publications serve varied purposes for criminal justice professionals. They are offered to the states to help them structure their statewide criminal justice and drug-abuse prevention strategies and subgrant projects. Several are used frequently in state and local training academies and at training conferences. In addition, they provide relevant and useful information to criminal justice practitioners and policymakers for program implementation and policy development. ---------------------------- THE BJA CLEARINGHOUSE Created to improve dissemination of valuable information to criminal justice professionals, the BJA Clearinghouse coordinates and centralizes the distribution of BJA publications. As a component of the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS), the Clearinghouse also provides a direct link to other OJP agency publications and a database of more than 150,000 criminal justice documents. Through its convenient toll-free telephone line (1-800-688-4252), the Clearinghouse offers easy access to a range of resources and services. The toll-free number connects callers with information specialists who answer inquiries, provide funding and publications information, and make referrals that put the caller in touch with the appropriate contacts within BJA or other agencies. The NCJRS Web site, the Justice Information Center (JIC) (www.ncjrs.com), gives users direct online access to information about BJA funding, copies of BJA publications, and other resources. In fulfilling its goal of providing criminal justice professionals with reliable information and effective tools in the fight against crime, the Clearing-house serves as the foremost source of publications and other resources for its users. ---------------------------- CATALOGED BJA PUBLICATIONS To meet the various information needs of the criminal justice community, BJA publishes several differ-ent types or series of documents. These include the following: Program Briefs. A Program Brief is a concise description of a program proved to be effective in the control of drug-related and violent crime. It outlines the program concept, goals and objectives, critical program elements, implementation steps, and actual experiences of participants in the program. A Program Brief is produced following successful program execution and evaluation, which determines the program's essential elements and performance standards. Implementation Manuals. Serving as a tool for replication of a proven program, an Implementation Manual provides a detailed description of the program, including specific policies, practices, and procedures used in program planning, organization, implementation, operations, monitoring, and evaluation. An Implementation Manual is produced only after extensive experience and evaluation to ensure that administrative and operational details are accurate and effective. Training Manuals. Based on the Implementation Manual for a given program, a Training Manual presents a curriculum for teaching program operations to management staff. It contains instructions for trainers as well as exercises for students that outline the steps required to replicate the program and maintain con-tinuity and program integrity in the process. Monographs. A Monograph serves one of two purposes: provide indepth information on a particular element of a program or describe a program that appears promising but has not yet been proved effective. A Monograph may be likened to a scholarly essay, with documentation to support opinions or positions expressed by the author. BJA has introduced three new Monograph series to address current topics of importance to the justice community: Community Justice series, Indigent Defense series, and Hate Crimes series. Bulletins. Bulletins are produced to inform the criminal justice community of new and emerging issues and to highlight innovative and progressive ideas and approaches to address these issues. Bulletins provide a brief introduction to topics that are likely to be covered later in greater detail in Program Briefs, Implementation Manuals, Monographs, and other publications. The latest addition to BJA's Bulletins is the Practitioner Perspectives: Bulletin From the Field series. Fact Sheets. A Fact Sheet is a short, easy-to-read introduction to a specific BJA-sponsored program. Designed to help criminal justice professionals identify programs of possible value to specific agencies and/or jurisdictions, a Fact Sheet always includes a list of resources to contact for further information. ---------------------------- USING THIS PUBLICATIONS LIST TO OBTAIN DOCUMENTS All documents in this Publications List were produced by BJA or a BJA grantee organization and are available either from the BJA Clearinghouse or from the grantee organization that produced the document.

When calling the Clearinghouse (1-800-688-4252) to request copies or for more information, please be sure to reference the document number. Addressing Hate Crimes: Six Initiatives That Are En-hancing the Efforts of Criminal Justice Practitioners. Monograph. (NCJ 179559). Focuses on law enforcement's pivotal role in responding to the investigation, prosecution, and prevention of hate crimes. Several BJA-funded projects are described that offer training and support to law enforcement officials. Each project has helped DOJ design comprehensive training programs, protocols for the fast and effective response to hate crime incidents, and systems for coordinated enforcement and prosecution. Building a Better Criminal Justice System: Bureau of Justice Assistance Fiscal Year 1999 Annual Report to Congress. Monograph. (NCJ 182954). Describes the funding and technical assistance provided to state and local criminal justice systems by the Bureau of Justice Assistance in fiscal year (FY) 1999. In FY 1999, BJA administered $1.8 billion to state and local agencies to support and measure the effectiveness of programs in every area of the justice system: crime prevention, community justice, law enforcement, adjudication, correctional services, and technology. The first section of the Annual Report provides an overview of fiscal year FY 1999 activities, and the second section identifies support to state and local criminal justice systems. Appendixes contain BJA legislative purpose area descriptions, grant awards to states and U.S. territories, and a list of FY 1999 publications. Contracting for Indigent Defense Services: A Special Report. Monograph. (NCJ 181160). Addresses the issues surrounding the provision of defense services to defendants who cannot afford counsel. It was written for individuals in the justice system who are using, considering, or implementing an indigent defense contract system. The report presents the major judicial and legislative attempts to deal with those systems, examines the best and worst features of contract systems, and discusses the national standards that govern contract systems. The experiences of indigent defense systems discussed in this special report support the conclusion that contract systems can deliver quality indigent defense services if appropriate safeguards are developed. Creating a New Criminal Justice System for the 21st Century: Findings and Results From State and Local Program Evaluations. Monograph. (NCJ 178936). Presents the approaches and results of criminal justice program evaluations funded by the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Formula Grant Program. In highlighting the diverse programs of seven States, this Effective Programs Monograph gives justice system planners and managers insight into the scope and level of effort required to implement innovative approaches to dealing with drug abuse and violent crime. A bibliography lists 10 years of research and evaluation by multijurisdictional task forces, and an appendix describes how to identify and nominate effective criminal justice programs. Emerging Judicial Strategies for the Mentally Ill in the Criminal Caseload: Mental Health Courts in Fort Lauderdale, Seattle, San Bernardino, and Anchorage. Monograph. (NCJ 182504). Examines four pioneering mental health courts to identify common, critical ingredients that may form basic elements of a mental health court model as this judicial problem-solving strategy becomes more prominent. The four sites represent the first judge-supervised, court-based innovations designed to address the problems of mentally ill defendants and offenders in the criminal caseload in the United States. The court initiatives grew from efforts to respond to three basic critical problems: the public safety risk posed by mentally ill offenders; the difficulties associated with housing the mentally ill in local jails; and the inadequacy of the criminal process in dealing with mentally ill defendants. FY 2000 Program Plan. Monograph. (SL 000421). Provides an overview of programs BJA will support in fiscal year 2000. The funds appropriated for BJA activities will support collaborative efforts in every area of the criminal justice system including law enforcement, crime prevention, the courts, supervision services, prosecution and indigent defense, pretrial services, technology and systems integration, evaluation, and training and technical assistance. BJA will also continue to support innovative solutions to local problems through the Open Solicitation Grant Program. The document provides a compilation of program titles and grantee names. A History of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program: Supporting Local Solutions to Crime. Bulletin. (NCJ 179982). Discusses the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants (LLEBG) Program and its progress over the past 4 years. Administered by BJA, the program provides funds to State, local, and tribal governments for crime prevention and multijurisdictional task force projects. Funds are allocated for a variety of purposes including law enforcement; new technology and equipment; and projects addressing domestic violence, drug trafficking, gang violence, drunk or aggressive driving, and sex offenses. This bulletin includes a section on how to improve the program and examples of innovative projects from grantees. Indigent Defense and Technology: A Progress Report. Monograph. (NCJ 179003). Analyzes how technology is changing the way attorneys and staff work in public defender offices and how that technology can add efficiency to the system by educating criminal justice practitioners, elected officials, and the public about the challenges facing the indigent defense community. This report is part of BJA's Indigent Defense Series, which addresses key issues that attorneys and managers in indigent defense systems struggle with daily. Integrating Drug Testing Into a Pretrial Services System: 1999 Update. Monograph. (NCJ 176340). Updates a 1992 BJA Monograph on how to integrate pretrial drug testing into the court process, including the risk assessment and supervised release phases. This update examines the practices of federal pretrial programs and provides current information on legal issues and on the costs of pretrial drug testing, updates on problems related to urine testing, and innovations in testing methods and in the chain of custody process. An updated annotated bibliography is also included. Keeping Illegal Activity Out of Rental Property: A Police Guide for Establishing Landlord Training Programs. Monograph. (NCJ 148656). Provides materials to help police agencies implement the Landlord Training Program, which emphasizes cooperation among property owners, tenants, and law enforcement agencies to fight drug-related crime in neighborhoods. Section I, Program Description, supplies a program overview for law enforcement personnel that offers instructions for implementing the program and coordination strategies. Section II, National Landlord Training Program Participant's Manual, reproduces the national version of the manual that landlords receive at training. Key Elements of Successful Adjudication Partner-ships. Bulletin. (NCJ 173949). Presents general information about adjudication partnerships and describes critical elements that lead to successful partnerships, as observed in a variety of well-established partnerships operating in jurisdictions across the country. Local and state criminal justice systems are under pressure to operate more efficiently and effectively without diminishing the quality of their services. One way to achieve this objective is through developing cooperative arrangements with key local justice system agencies. This BJA Bulletin identifies these partnerships and provides contact information. A checklist is also included to guide the novice coalition in developing a workable partnership and to emphasize the important key elements that must be present in a partnership to ensure that all involved agencies are part of the decisionmaking process. Kid's Korner Program: City of Reno, Nevada, Police Department. Bulletin. (NCJ 181718). Describes how the Reno Police Department assists Washoe County, Nevada, low-income children by linking their families with public- and private-sector resources and services to increase their opportunity for a healthy future. Kid's Korner is a knock-and-talk program in which police officers accompanied by a public health nurse visit and check on the welfare of children living in local motels. Initial and followup visits provide families with information on how to receive free medical assistance, food, and other necessities as well as how to enroll their children in schools. Begun in 1996 and supported with funding from BJA, this program of collaborative local partnerships has become an integral part of the Reno Police Department. National Training and Information Center: Empowering Communities To Fight Crime. Bulletin. (NCJ 182903). Provides an overview of the National Training and Information Center's (NTIC's) mission. NTIC builds grassroots leadership and strengthens neighborhoods by listening to neighborhood residents identify local problems, bringing them together to find solutions, and empowering residents and representatives of other institutions to solve those problems. The center provides participating community groups with low-cost training, research, technical assistance, and consultation to help them reduce and prevent crime in their neighborhoods. Opening the Courts to the Community: Volunteers in Wisconsin's Courts. Bulletin. (NCJ 178935). Offers an overview of 164 court-related volunteer programs operating throughout the state of Wisconsin. The programs have been studied and grouped into 12 categories by type of services offered, which include alternative dispute resolution, court information and assistance, court ombudsman, domestic violence and sexual assault programs, family services, guardian services, jail and detention center programs, juvenile services, legal services, mentoring programs, probation/parole and community service, and victim services. Practitioner Perspectives: Chelsea, Massachusetts--A City Helps Its Diverse People Get Along. Bulletin. (NCJ 179866). Describes the efforts of the Conflict Intervention Unit (CIU) in Chelsea, Massachusetts, to resolve noncriminal disputes through mediation. Through CIU, Chelsea residents can take their conflicts to trained, neutral civilian mediators who are neither police officers nor city employees. This Practitioner Perspectives Bulletin presents the history of CIU and offers case examples and a discussion of elements that make the program a success. Practitioner Perspectives: Memphis, Tennessee, Police Department's Crisis Intervention Team. Bulletin. (NCJ 182504). Describes the efforts of the Memphis police Department's Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) to deal with mentally ill members of the community. The deinstitutionalization of mentally ill people in the 1960s resulted in the downsizing of mental health institutions and the abandonment of many patients who, unable to cope with the outside world, found themselves being cycled into the criminal justice system. To break this cycle, Memphis formed the CIT unit to better address the problems of the mentally disabled and their families. The success of the program, which other communities are eager to emulate, is described in this Bulletin. Practitioner Perspectives: National Night Out--Building Police and Community Partnerships To Prevent Crime. Bulletin. (NCJ 180775). Provides an overview of National Night Out, a crime prevention program established in 1984 with BJA funding that emphasizes building a partnership between the police and the community. This Bulletin describes National Night Out efforts in five cities that have been ranked among the best in their size category for many years: New Orleans, Louisiana; Minneapolis, Minnesota; The Woodlands (Houston), Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; and Lodi, California. The Bulletin not only summarizes activities in these cities but also provides tips and strategies for successful implementation of National Night Out. Practitioner Perspectives: Robert Taylor Boys and Girls Club of Chicago. Bulletin. (NCJ 174442). Describes the success of a Boys and Girls Club in providing a safe learning environment for neighborhood children in one of Chicago's most crime-ridden areas. Funded in part by a BJA grant to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, "the Club" provides facilities for a library, gym, and computer room, where chil-dren can develop their social skills and a sense of self-worth. The Club also provides literacy classes and welfare-to-work programs for adults from the Robert Taylor Homes, a development with 5 of its 28 buildings slated for demolition. This Bulletin further describes how the Club maintains a supportive relationship with residents in the troubled community that surrounds it. Pretrial Drug Testing: An Overview of Issues and Practices. Bulletin. (NCJ 176341). Provides an overview of the evolution of drug testing in the criminal justice system--from its original use in the 1960s as a treatment tool to its expanded use in the 1970s and early 1980s as a tool to monitor offenders under supervision to its new use as a tool to predict and reduce pretrial misconduct. This BJA Bulletin outlines the reasons for the decreased use of drug testing as a tool to identify and monitor drug users and, in response, offers a comprehensive review of new drug testing technologies, a discussion on estimating pretrial drug testing costs, and a summary of current pretrial drug testing applications. Promising Practices Against Hate Crimes: Five State and Local Demonstration Projects. Monograph. (NCJ 181425). Describes five BJA-funded demonstration programs developed by state and local agencies and considered to be the most promising programs in the nation for confronting and reducing hate crimes. This Monograph discusses the Simon Wiesenthal Center's National Institutes Against Hate Crimes, the San Diego Police Department and the Anti-Defamation League's Victim Assistance Project, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's JOLT Program, the Maine Department of the Attorney General's Civil Rights Team Project, and the Massachusetts Governor's Task Force on Hate Crimes.

Compiled as part of the Court Information Systems Technical Assistance Project, this BJA Monograph includes data on the status of integrated systems in 34 states as well as strategies for agencies considering or currently administering court automation and integration projects. New responsibilities associated with the increase in information technology throughout the nation's court systems-- including rules to govern the exchange and security of data; funding and procurement procedures to guide the acquisition, maintenance, and upgrade of integrated information systems; and standards to ensure that the justice process remains uncompromised--are also addressed. Responding to Hate Crimes: A Police Officer's Guide to Investigation and Prevention. Training Manual. (NCJ 179087). Explains the differences between hate incidents and hate crimes and how to respond to both. This Guide lists steps officers should take at the scene, factors that indicate a hate crime may have been committed, and ways for police to offer effective support to hate crime victims and the community throughout the investigation and prosecution processes. Responding to Hate Crimes: A Roll Call Training Video for Police Officers. Videotape. (NCJ 179015). Instructor's Guide. (NCJ 180808). Discusses the differences between a hate incident and a hate crime and how to distinguish between the two.
