Abstract
Visiting Fellows at the National Institute of Justice may chart new courses in research, help formulate new Institute programs and write reports and guidebooks that will be used by a wide audience of criminal justice professionals. For periods of 6 to 18 months they devote all their attention to study, research, and analysis of such topics as the role of jail masters; victim decision-making; privately operated prisons; new methods for building prisons and jails; fighting neighborhood crime; child sexual abuse; and drug testing and forecasting. The document also contains summaries of articles on courts; crime prevention/deterrence; criminology; dispute resolution; institutional corrections (adult); juvenile justice system; law enforcement; probation and parole; reference and statistics; staff resource development; system policy and planning; technology/systems; and victim services.
