The National Institute of Justice has compiled a bibliography of journal articles, news stories, and other resources relevant to the Sentinel Events Initiative. The bibliography includes close to 1,000 citations, most with abstracts and links to the complete publications.[1]
NIJ has compiled these citations with the goal of creating a centralized platform for publications related to the Sentinel Events Initiative. The bibliography will be of interest to scholars and other researchers, practitioners, journalists, and others.
Accessing the Bibliography Files
The bibliography consists of two RIS files.[2]
- Citations to NIJ publications and articles from other sources that discuss the Sentinel Events Initiative; updated July 2024.
- Citations to news articles and research about sentinel events in criminal justice and other fields; updated July 2024.
The files can be imported into reference, or citation, manager software such as Zotero or Mendeley. [3]
Reference, or citation, managers also offer plugins that let you insert citations from the bibliography into word processors. See information on plugins for Endnote’s Cite As You Write, Zotero’s Word Processor Plugin, and Mendeley’s Citation Plugin.
