Records of the Kansas Governor's Committee on Criminal Administration, 1969 - 1982.

Most records from the Kansas Governor's Committee on Criminal Administration (GCCA) are concerned with grants, either with the applications for and administration of individual grants or with auditing and evaluating grant projects. Other records from the GCCA include meeting transcriptions and minutes, subject files and research concerning criminal justice administration in Kansas and in the United States, some accounting information, and state action plans that were yearly updated focusing on comprehensive law enforcement in Kansas and how to improve it at all levels and from all aspects. Much of the grant funding that the Committee was able to disburse came from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) under the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ). The records cover the entire short time the Committee existed and provide an overarching view of a transitional time in criminal justice administration in Kansas.
