Writing resources?

[tenaya.livejournal.com]

I've written fanfic before--westerns, SciFi and fantasy. I'd like to write some CM but the very specific terminology and profiling lingo has me stumped. What resources do you writers use to research this important aspect of the stories?

Thanks!

My favourite is this page which has links to several police and criminal slang term glossaries. It's interesting and offers quite a bit information.

I don't find the Wikipedia article on police jargon to be very good for fanfic writing, but the links at the bottom are worth a look.

You could also try the Criminal Minds Wiki glossary, which explains the terms used on the show.

Oh. I did not know about the Wiki site. Thanks! And the other websites are quite interesting, too. That gives me quite a bit to browse. *g*

Very nice, thanks!
