This reference work was compiled as a resource for those needing
assistance in locating Texas criminal justice statistics. R. Scott
Harnsberger has compiled more than 600 entries describing
statistical sources for Texas crime; criminals; law enforcement;
courts and sentencing; adult and juvenile corrections; capital
punishment and death row; victims of crime; driving/boating under
the influence; traffic fatalities; substance abuse and treatment;
polls and rankings; and fiscal topics such as appropriations,
revenues, expenditures, and federal aid.
The sources for these statistics originate primarily, but not
exclusively, from federal and State of Texas agencies, boards,
bureaus, commissions, and departments. The following types of
publications are included: annual, biennial, and biannual reports;
reports issued in series; analytic and research reports;
statistical compilations; budgets and other fiscal documents;
audits, inspections, and investigations; census publications;
polls; projections; rankings; surveys; continuously updated online
resources; and datasets.
Harnsberger has annotated the entries to provide sufficient
detail to enable users to decide whether the listed resources merit
further investigation. Additional notes contain URLs and
information regarding the scope of the published data; title
changes; related publications; and the availability of earlier
data, previous editions, online tables, and datasets.
This book will prove to be a valuable resource for students,
faculty, researchers, government officials, and individuals in the
law enforcement, correctional, and judicial professions.
