Crime and Justice: Home

Whether local, national, or international, everyone's life has been touched by crime, to some degree. Similarly, criminal justice research can touch upon a variety of fields, particularly including government information and the law. Statistics, too, are a key element of this area of study.

For further reading in the field of crime and justice, see the Warren Commission report (on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy), the FBI's report on Robert F. Kennedy's assassination, and the FBI Vault's 22-part record series on J. Edgar Hoover.

CU-Boulder faculty, staff, and affiliates can sign up for text message alerts through the RAVE service.

The LIFELINE mobile safety app is replacing the blue safety lights around campus. You can download it to your smartphone and use it to contact the local police department, in case of emergency.

The Faculty Staff Assistance Program, Counseling and Psychiatric Services, Office of Victim Assistance, and Students of Concern Team are available to help members of the campus community facing challenges.

 Government Information is a regional library of the Federal Depository Library Program as well as a depository of Colorado state, United Nations, and European Union information. It consists of over five million items from the United States government, Colorado and other state governments, foreign governments, and international governmental organizations like the UN. As a federal depository, the Library also offers assistance and its collections to members of the public. This includes providing public computers for unrestricted access to government information on the Internet.

We offer a wide array of services to support students, staff, and faculty, including online guides for research, one-on-one consultations, class instruction, phone, email, and walk-in reference.
