Quoting

.

The Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics has been produced at the
Hindelang Criminal Justice Research Center (University at Albany, SUNY)
since 1973. Originally published annually in print format, it is now
available as a free Internet resource. Funding for this resource has
been provided by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (U.S. Department of
Justice).

.

As of July 31, 2012 the Justice Department will no longer be funding the
project. Staff at the Hindelang Center are investigating possible
commercial publishers for the Sourcebook.
