Highlights of the Past Month

Our Criminal Justice Database Got a Makeover

For the past few months, the HeinOnline production team worked tirelessly to incorporate a massive update into one of our most popular databases, Criminal Justice in America. The unprecedented breadth of criminal justice and criminology content included in this addition (more than 2 million pages) led us to completely reorganize the database, subject-code the material, and give the collection a new and improved name more reflective of its new and improved content. Learn more about Criminal Justice & Criminology, your must-have resource for researching these two disciplines, in this recent blog post.
