Introduction to criminal justice information systems: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Introduction to criminal justice information systems" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The proliferation of information systems throughout the criminal justice system has prompted many universities supporting criminal justice programs to add criminal justice information systems technology to their curriculums. Several universities have gone so far as to hire professors with specializations in information technology and to offer criminal justice information systems as an area of concentration. Introduction to Criminal Justice Information Systems gives an overview of the various software systems and technologies currently used in the criminal justice environment. The book covers a variety of topics critical to each member of the criminal justice system: police, prosecutor, courts, and corrections. It details the current systems in use, how they are used, and how separate systems interact with others. It also suggests how the current technology and the processes built upon it will evolve. While designed as a textbook to meet the needs of an introductory criminal justice information technology course, Introduction to Criminal Justice Information Systems is also a flexible resource useful to professionals in relevant areas of the criminal justice system. With rapidly increasing development and use of technology in modern law enforcement, this book provides a much-needed reference for those who are responsible for its implementation as well as an essential introduction to those who will become responsible for it.

This book is dedicated to my father, who was a great source of encouragement throughout my life. He always knew that I could achieve things even when I didnt think I could. I am sure he is looking down at me today with a big smile and saying, See, I told you that you could do it. Thank you, Dad.

Preface

During my lifetime, there were two events that influenced my future in information technology. In 1966, while I was in high school, I took a personal typing course, not realizing how important knowing how to type would become in our information technology age. Then in 1972, as I was preparing to graduate from college and had put off taking a math course until my final quarter at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, California, I was granted permission to substitute that math course with a computer science programming course. These two events became critical to my future and my contribution to criminal justice information systems.

In 1976, I transferred from the patrol unit to the planning, training, and research unit in the police department I was working for at the time. The first task the chief of police assigned me was to prove with empirical data that our department was in need of additional police officers. That is when I designed a patrol workload study that measured not only the number of calls for services we handled on a given shift but also the time consumed in handling these calls for service and other officer-generated activity. Here is where I put to use that computer science course that I took in my last quarter in college. I went to the city engineer and told him what we needed to do, and together he and I wrote a program on a Hewlett Packard 9830 Programmable Calculator in a new language called BASIC. The program captured the data pertaining to each call, and from this information, we were able to confirm that the officers spent 94% of their time on calls for service and officer-generated activities and 5% on administrative activities, leaving no time for unobligated patrol.

The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration declared the Patrol Workload Study a National Exemplary Project. The importance of this study is that I was asked to chair the National Steering Committee for the nations first generic police record management system known as Police Operations Support System Elementary (POSSE). POSSE became the standard that is at the base of all record management systems to this day. Since these early days, I have had the pleasure of helping to implement information technologies in criminal justice agencies throughout the United States.

Criminal justice information systems have come a long way since the early days. Information technology permeates every aspect of the criminal justice environment as it does our everyday lives. The intent of this book is to provide an overview of the various software systems and technologies used in todays criminal justice environment and to suggest where this technology will evolve to in the future.

Acknowledgments

Professionally, I want to thank Paul Wormeli for his assistance in providing information used in this book. Paul is a pioneer in criminal justice information systems, and together we have implemented hundreds of criminal justice information systems across this nation. Together we have also conceived new technologies that public safety agencies use today but have no idea where the concepts that gave birth to these technologies came from. Paul has led the nation in promoting criminal justice information systems and continues to be a visionary in this field.

I also would like to thank the following firms for contributing the product examples used in this edition:

  • CrimeStar Corporation: a software firm that provides computer-aided dispatch, police records management systems, field mobile computing systems, and jail management systems.
  • Microfirm Software Corporation: a software firm that provided the various screen samples from their prosecutor information system.
  • PTS Solutions: a software firm that provided the various screen samples from their court management system.

Personally, I also want to thank my family for their support and understanding throughout the many years while I traveled across the country implementing information technology systems for justice agencies and for their patience with me on vacations when I was working in support of these agencies.
