Arranged in chronological order by date of publication, the abstracts in the collection are grouped into four categories: healthcare, disability and aging services, policing and the justice system, and social and miscellaneous services. Among topics covered in the social and miscellaneous category are: emergency services, child welfare services, housing, library services, media, and transportation.
