1. Online mapping of corrections and sentencing related data: The Justice Mapping Center recently launched the National Atlas of Sentencing and Corrections—an online tool that shows a neighborhood-level view of where prison inmates, probationers, and parolees are from and where corrections spending is highest. The atlas can be accessed at http://www.justiceatlas.org/ but does not currently show Connecticut data. However, the Justice Mapping Center's website at http://www.justicemapping.org/ has in its Project Gallery a January 2006 mapping data analysis of neighborhood-level data for New Haven.
