ABOUT UNCJIN
.
The United Nations Criminal Justice Information Network,
formerly available only on the DIALCOM system, is now
available as a list server over INTERNET.
.
UNCJIN serves the international community of criminal
justice by enhancing the exchange of information among
professionals and scholars.  UNCJIN provides Latest reports
of research and activities from the main United Nations
Institutes around the world, an international calendar of
events and meetings, legislative and court activities
updates, United Nations World Crime Survey data.  A number
of directories of criminal justice institutes around the
world are also available, plus lists of other criminal
justice bulletin boards.  Most of these services will be
made available over the coming weeks as files which users
may access and download at their convenience.  The calendar
and other updates will be automatically sent to list
subscribers.  We also publish electronically a selection of
U.S. Bureau of Justice reports and statistics before they
become available in hard copy.  The accession lists of
leading criminal justice libraries will also be published
from time to time.  We also offer a service of the table of
contents of forthcoming issues of criminal justice journals,
before they are published in hard copy.
.
At this time (October 1, 1992) the files with the above
information have not yet been loaded into the listserver.
Over the next few weeks, this will be accomplished. UNCJIN-L
will inform subscribers when the files are available, how to
access them, and will provide an index file describing the
contents of available files.   However, you may join
immediately, and send messages to the listserver.  However,
remember that if you do, the message is automatically sent
out to all subscribers to the list.
.
UNCJIN has been in operation since 1988, solely on the
DIALCOM system.  It has been funded, in part, by the U.S.
Bureau of Justice Statistics, and operates under the
auspices of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal
Justice Branch, Vienna International Center, Vienna.  It
will also be possible, within a month or so, to directly
e-mail, via INTERNET, UNCJIN members who are connected only
to the DIALCOM system.  There are over 50 members world wide
on the UNCJIN DIALCOM system.  We expect many to join over
INTERNET, since, in most circumstances, the INTERNET
connection is free.
.
THE FUTURE
.
In the coming months we will also offer UNCJIN services and
files through TCP service.  Through this service, we will
bring to members who have TCP capability at their sites, the
know-how to access leading criminal justice library
collections electronically.  This will be accomplished
through WCJLN (The World Criminal Justice Library Network)
.
