For background purposes, a description of Houston and Harris County is included. Also included is a brief description of previous attempts to develop similar systems in Harris County, the organizational considerations, planning procedures, and the design phase. A complete description of the final system is then given. The paper ends with a summary of the steps required to implement a criminal justice information system.application/pdfenThis item is protected by copyright but is made available here under a claim of fair use (17 U.S.C. §107) for non-profit research and educational purposes.
