TCN/DIALCOM system, which limited its membership to those who could pay the fees. by introducing uncjin to INTERNET, its services were made available to potent ially thousands of people. In the months since it has been established on INTERNET, over 150 individuals have joined UNCJIN and two or three new subscribers are added each day. Interactive communication is also now possible on the system, and lively discussions occur daily among members. At present, the combined membership of UNCJIN is about 260, representing some 50 different countries and all major geographic regions of the world. Telecommunications Cooperative Network (TCN) is also committed to providing a direct gateway between the TCN/DIALCOM system to INTERNET, so that it will not be long before all members on both systems are fully connected atabases UNCJIN makes available a wide variety of information to its members, most of which is accessible on-line. There are selections from the United Nations surveys of crime trends and operations of criminal justice systems legislative updates, directories of criminal justice research organizations around the world, directories of criminal justice journals reports from research institutes, and an extensive collection of Bureau of Justice Statistics reports, many available well before they are actually published. Most of the databases are also available on UNCJIN through INTERNET, al though they cannot be searched on-line, and must be downloaded as files. However, early in 1993, UNCJIN will provide a File Transfer Protocol(FTP) service which, it is hoped, will enable those members connected to INternet to search the extensive databases of UNCJIN.
