New FBI and Terrorism Enforcement Sites on TRAC

TRAC has released a newly updated FBI Web Site

According to TRAC:

Data show that in the first 9 months of FY 2006, federal prosecutors have rejected 87% of the FBI’s referrals on international terrorism. The report also shows that despite across-the-board staffing increases in the last few years, FBI investigations of all kinds have consistently resulted in fewer federal prosecutions. Detailed graphs and tables reveal how FBI staffing and enforcement priorities have been constantly changing since 1986. District-by-district FBI enforcement counts are updated through the end of FY 2005. 

In addition, a new TRAC page on Terrorism Enforcement features a national map showing the location of recent federal convictions for all “individuals who have been categorized by the Justice Department as spies or terrorists, or those whose prosecution the government thought might prevent or disrupt potential or actual terrorist threats.” Links to TRACs various reports on post-9/11 terrorism enforcement are also available on the page.  The latest report,

based on detailed data obtained by TRAC under the Freedom of Information Act from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA), mostly focuses on the use of the nation’s criminal laws in the five years after 9/11/01 against over a thousand individuals who the government had categorized as international terrorists.
