New Mexico Sentencing Commission releases new Criminal Justice Resource Directory and Juvenile Justice Program Inventory

The New Mexico Sentencing Commission released the 2005 version of the New Mexico Criminal Justice Resource Directory and the Juvenile Justice Program Inventory.

For the first time, both reports were posted on the New Mexico Sentencing Commission's Web site. The Criminal Justice Resource Directory is a comprehensive catalog of local, state, tribal and federal criminal and juvenile justice contacts for New Mexico. The Juvenile Justice Program Inventory is a statewide catalog of the programs available for juveniles in need of services. Listings include agencies, programs and services in law enforcement, courts, corrections, human services and juvenile areas.

Each program listing includes information such as the program name and contact information. The Web site is a source for legislators, analysts researching information on criminal justice and the general public.

The Criminal Justice Resource Directory receives approximately 50,000 inquiries a month and the Juvenile Justice Program Inventory receives about 18,000 inquiries. The Web site for the New Mexico Sentencing Commission is www.nmsc.state.nm.us.
