New and Expanded Services from TRAC (Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse)
From an announcement:
TRAC has greatly expanded the offerings available at the bulletins linked [here]. For the latest available month, there are now twelve new reports containing information about both the recorded filings (prosecutions) and convictions for six specialized and revealing subjects: civil rights, environment, official corruption, organized crime, child pornography and government regulation. Now you can quickly get answers to questions like: "is the Bush Administration's monthly prosecution or conviction rate for each of these different areas up, down or about the same?"
In addition, TRAC is offering an entirely new service that provides a printer-ready PDF report containing detailed "listing" information about each defendant in a selected subject of special interest -- for example, those convicted of an environmental offense in a recent month in a
particular federal judicial district. Although the Justice Department is withholding names and docket numbers (an action which TRAC has under
