Lots of holiday gifts from BJS for data junkies
This is the time of year in which the Bureau of Justice Statistics releases a whole bunch of statistics about prisoners and others under state and federal criminal control. This year I got an e-mail from BJS providing links to a cornucopia of data. Overwhelmed by all the goodies, I decided I’ll just cut-and-paste all the goodies and links from the e-mail:
