Excerpt
Foreword: The 1999 National Partnership Meeting, Working Together for Peace and Justice in the 21st Century, was by far the most successful conference in the history of the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Our meeting featured more than 200 speakers, 56 workshops and plenary sessions, and more than 1,100 participants from across the United States, 5 U.S. territories, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, and Australia. Not only did the conference allow us to celebrate our accomplishments thus far in crime control and prevention, it allowed us to share information about a variety of programs, innovations, issues, and trends in criminal justice. This publication provides a summary of the conference workshops so that participants can access the information that was presented in all of the sessions. Contact information for the presenters is provided as well. Due to the many requests from the conference participants, we have also included transcripts of the keynote speeches by Attorney General Janet Reno, Mr. Henry Gardner, and Mr. Fox Butterfield. I thank each and every participant for making this such a productive and successful conference. Through my contact with many of you during the meeting, I realized that, as a team, we can do so much in our efforts to reduce crime and violence. We can all help build a safer, stronger nation where peace and justice are both real and permanent.
