CrimNet is an electronic criminal justice information network, which aims to fulfil the need for a simple means of regular and relaxed communication between criminal justice professionals and institutions throughout Australia and internationally.

Important Notice:

Due to a new email system being implemented at the Faculty of Law, University of Sydney, the CrimNet mailing list moved onto a new server on 21 February 2007.

All current subscribers will be transferred onto this list.

The new email to send crimnet messages to is:
law-crimnet@mail.usyd.edu.au

A message will be sent out to confirm the details of the new CrimNet list.

If you have any further questions please contact Rachel Miller at the Institute; r.miller@usyd.edu.au.

*NB The following instructions assume that you have already started up your own email system and have a basic knowledge of how to use it. More specific instructions for using your email system have not been included due to the different types of software used.

Signing On:

This is called the mailing list server. It handles various commands such as subscribing and unsubscribing people to the list. It also archives all of the CrimNet messages.

Once your subscription has been approved you will receive a welcome message with instructions for using CrimNet.
