ABSTRACT
Learning includes keeping up with innovations. At an annual meeting of
the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences several years ago, then direc-
tor of the FBI, William S. Sessions, gave a preview of things to come.
Sessions also paid tribute to the many academicians and practitioners in
attendance by saying in part, “It is your research, your teachings, and
your practical ideas that help move the criminal justice system from
perceived needs to working realities.” While many of the areas Director
Sessions covered as innovations are reality today, all of his points are
still valid.
