Hi. I am interested in that information. Could you please post it? | |||||

Well, I finally built my bookcases this weekend, and so unearthed my manual: COMPUTER CRIME. CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESOURCE MANUAL. Bureau of Justice Statistics U.S. Dept of Justice Washington, d.c. 20531 For sale by the Superintendant of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 "This document was prepared for the National Criminal Justice Information and Statistics Service of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, U.S. Department of Justice, under grant no. 78-ss-ax-0031 awarded to SRI International. Points of view and opinions stated herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice or of SRI International. LEAA authorizes and person to reproduce, publish, translate or otherwise use all or any part of the copyrighted material in this publication, with the exception of those items indicating that they are copyrighted by or reprinted by permission of any source other than the SRI International." [ so the manual being sold may very well be the same as the one distributed by the U.S. Government". I've had mine since 1979, so there may be a new edition by now. Certainly the section that outlines the current laws in each state is undoubtedly out of date, but the other sections are of course quite relevant. Also, SRI also has a document that outlines how to break the security on TOPS, VMS, MVS, etc, again due to 'research grants'. These not only point out flaws in technical implementation, but point out flaws in the overall design, and describe the work required for the vendor to have to fix these flaws. Many have been fixed by now (this is from other SRI material, not the resource Manual).] I originally found out about the Resource Manual when it was mentioned casually in a Computerworld article. If someone knows how to get a useful catalog of Government Publications, please let me know. Or better yet, a place where they can be viewed for free (and yet catalogued effectively). I found out about the SRI Research when they were handing out their findings at a Computer Show in an effort to sell their research services. Indeed I was impressed, but I suspect that a lot of the people who have their report were not exactly qualified prospects. | |||||

The order number for this document is 027-000-00870-4. It is available through the D.C. office (202-783-3238) for $10.00 and can be ordered over the phone with a VISA or MC. The report is dated 1979 so I assume it hasn't been revised. /marc | |||||

I believe that there is a Gov. Publications central office in Pueblo Colorado. They used to send out an update of new publications weekly. Ill try and find an address. -John | |||||
