Syracuse University's TRAC is expanding its public
access to information.
According to a recent news release,
"For several months, TRAC has offered on its
public website very timely month-by-month reports and
data tracking changes in the government's enforcement
activities against white collar criminals, illegal drug peddlers,
immigration violators and unlawful gun users and dealers.
TRAC has greatly expanded the offerings available at the
bulletins link just above. For the latest available month,
there are now twelve new reports containing information
about both the recorded filings (prosecutions) and
convictions for six specialized and revealing subjects:
civil rights, environment, official corruption, organized
crime, child pornography and government regulation.
In addition, TRAC is offering an entirely new service that
provides a printer-ready PDF report containing detailed
"listing" information about each defendant in a selected
subject of special interest — for example, those convicted
of an environmental offense in a recent month in a
particular federal judicial district. Although the Justice
Department is withholding names and docket numbers
(an action which TRAC has under appeal), the new listings
still provide unique and very detailed information,
organized by district, by statute and by judge."
