National Institute of Justice Journal 251

Rural gangs and urban gangs differ in many respects. In this issue of the NIJ Journal, researchers suggest that policies and practices related to urban gangs may not apply to rural ones. Other articles discuss ways to ensure successful collaboration among law enforcement agencies, the Campbell Collaboration’s review of criminal justice research, and NIJ's Data Resources Program. The "At-A-Glance" section summarizes recent research on child custody mediation and domestic violence, effects of child abuse, hung juries, problem-oriented policing in public housing, and frugal evaluations of programs.
