Answer: Analysis will vary. A brief summary is included, but actual comparison charts can be found in the NCIC website located in the FBI's website. As of December 31, 2015, NCIC contained 84,961 active missing person records. Juveniles under the age of 18 account for 33,052 (38.9%) of the records and 42,032 (49.5%) records when juveniles are defined as under 21 years of age.
During 2015, 634,908 missing person records were entered into NCIC, an increase of .1% from the 634,155 records entered in 2014. Missing Person records purged during the same period totaled 634,742. Reasons for these removals include: a law enforcement agency located the subject, the individual returned home, or the record had to be removed by the entering agency due to a determination that the record is invalid. This information is taken directly from the FBI website.
Part of the object of this assignment is to get the students familiar with outside research and investigating the wealth of information available on the FBI's website.
