How do I access the Criminal Justice Database?

You can access it from the Databases A-Z on the Library homepage. Just search under 'C', and you will find it. Alternatively, you can follow the highlighted link here.

How does it relate to Library Search?

The Criminal Justice Database is unusual because Library Search does not integrate its content. This means that you will miss the Criminal Justice Database if you rely on Library Search alone.
