    Asset Forfeiture Programs: Impact, Issues, and Implications
    (Jefferson Institute for Justice Studies, 1992-02) Jacoby, Joan E.; Gramckow, Heike P.; Ratledge, Edward C.
    This report has been prepared to alert law enforcement and prosecution to the problems and issues related to asset forfeiture programs, and to assist them in building the capacity to successfully target assets related to drug and money laundering cases. It is based on the results of an evaluation, supported by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), of asset forfeiture programs established in four demonstration sites, and supplemented by the findings from a nationwide survey of the state-of-the-art of asset forfeiture programs in 1990. Issues and problems related to the development of asset forfeiture programs are discussed; the essential ingredients to successful operations are identified; and, the impact of asset forfeiture on police and prosecutorial agencies is described.

    The Impact of Community Policing on the Criminal Justice System
    (Jefferson Institute for Justice Studies, 1995-03) Jacoby, Joan E.; Gramckow, Heike P.; Ratledge, Edward C.
    This report presents the results of an initial assessment of the effects of community policing on the criminal justice system and local government agencies. It attempts to fill a gap in our knowledge about community policing by examining its dynamics from a different perspective; namely, how it relates to the other parts of criminal justice agencies, particularly prosecution.

    Prosecuting Complex Drug Cases: The Challenge for Local Prosecutors
    (Jefferson Institute for Justice Studies, 1993-07) Gramckow, Heike P.; Jacoby, Joan E.; Ratledge, Edward C.
    With little contemporary literature available about the subject of complex drug prosecutions, this assessment was particularly difficult because the issues surrounding the prosecution of complex drug cases, first, had to be identified; then, validated through interviews with practitioners. The synthesis of the information gathered into relevant and practical discussions for prosecutors was the last step in the process, and is reflected in the final report.
