Government Stats and Facts: Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse Adds New Search Tools and RSS Feeds

The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) is based at Syracuse University and does independent/non-partisan research looking at federal enforcement, spending, and staffing.

Two announcements from TRAC today.
1) RSS Feeds for the new TRAC Monthly Bulletins.
You can also select to have the news of a new bulletin (about 100 feeds) sent via email. There is also one "overall" feed. Important and useful info for anyone interested in how the U.S. Government operates.

2) Next, the introduction of the "TRAC Data Interprete." From the announcement:

Obtain a bird's-eye view of the latest data available. You start by selecting whether you're interested in prosecutions, convictions or convictions which have resulted in significant sentences. As you choose your area of interest (federal agency, district, judge, program, detailed program or lead charge) the Interpreter will tell you how many cases there are in the most recent month, and how many more selections are possible in the areas you haven't explored yet.

Browsing in this way is completely free: you don't need to purchase a bulletin to find out if there's information at any level. While there is a modest fee for generating some of the "drill-down" reports, subscribers to our TRACFED data service will incur no additional charge. You can also use the Data Interpreter to access our free top-level bulletins on subjects such as white collar crime, immigration and terrorism, and agencies such as DHS, IRS or FBI.
