The Department of Justice launches Justice.gov today in an effort to increase openness and transparency in government. Utilizing a variety of online tools, we will be able to share news and information, not just on our own web site, but through popular social networks Twitter***,YouTube and MySpace and Facebook. The Justice presence on these social networks will allow Americans to interact with the Department in entirely new ways.
The new Justice.gov has incorporated more multimedia than ever before. You’ll find a photo gallery and video library that will be regularly updated with new content from across the Department of Justice. And of course, The Justice Blog will be a hub of information for the Department.
Finally (we'll end it here), notice the "Justice Action Center" box that appears on the right side of many Justice.gov pages. In a single location you can find links to:
++Report a Crime
++Get a Job
++ Locate a Prison, Inmate, or Sex Offender
++ Apply for a Grant
++ Submit a Complaint
++ Report Waste, Fraud, Abuse or Misconduct
++ Find Sales of Seized Property

++ Register, Apply for Permits, or Request Records
++ Identify Our Most Wanted Fugitives
