Answer to Question 1

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.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers will vary. Here is a brief description of each. The Federal Kidnapping Act (1932), which allowed the use of federal agencies in kidnapping cases, was passed in response to the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (1968) made the practice of moving to another state for the purpose of changing custody illegal. The Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (1980) was passed to strengthen the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act. It allowed states to use the Federal Parent Locator Service to obtain address information on noncustodial parents who abducted their children and authorized the use of the Fugitive Felon Act against these individuals. In 1982, Congress changed NCIC rules to allow the entry of missing children into the system. The Missing Children Act (1982) allowed the entry of missing children into NCIC even though the noncustodial parent would not be charged with a crime. The Missing Children's Assistance Act (1984) created a national clearinghouse for missing children and authorized research to determine the extent of the problem within the United States. The International Child Abduction Remedies Act (1988) ratified the Hague Convention Treaty on missing children. As a result of this Act, the U.S. Department of State would become involved in noncustodial parental abductions in which the abducting parent takes the victim outside the United States. The National Child Search Assistance Act (1990) mandated law enforcement agencies to enter all reported missing children under the age of 18 into NCIC, including all reported runaways. The International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act (1993) made it a felony for a person to remove a child from the United States in an attempt to interfere with lawful court orders granted in custody matters.
