ABSTRACT

There are some useful websites that will give you access to governmental statistics on crime and policing, newspaper comment and reports, reports from criminal justice agencies, and also the opinions of pressure and activist groups. The addresses we list below are the ones which are most stable and which should stay in place for a long time. If you find that the addresses do not link to the site you are looking for, try putting a keyword (such as ‘National Probation Service’ or ‘Home Office statistics’) into a search engine such as Google and you should be able to locate the sites you are looking for. All of the websites listed here are freely accessible. If you have access to a university or college library, they will be able to advise you as to the journals and resources to which they subscribe.
