Friends,

I am not current on the best basic sources of information on the link 
between low proficiency in literacy and criminal 
behavior/incarceration.  I assume that the ERIC Clearinghouse remains 
one of the best databases, but wonder if anyone can direct me to a 
recent concise report that presents facts and figures and discusses 
this issue.  Also, any information on this subject as it relates 
specifically to New Mexico would be much appreciated.  Thanks very 
much.

Gail S
