Large IT projects have stifled information recording and sharing
in the criminal justice system.
The
Review of Criminality Information report says big IT projects

The Review of Criminality Information report says all IT
projects on information on criminals should go through an

existing systems.
The report found many previous projects - such as Libra, Impact
and C-Nomis - had been hampered by delays, funding problems and
cost overruns.
