| Twenty Year Federal Enforcement Trends |
(06 Mar 2008)
A new TRAC study, based on our analysis of 6.8 million Justice Department records spanning the last twenty years, shows that when immigration matters are put aside, referrals for prosecution from other federal investigative agencies in relation to population have declined.
Notably down are the agencies that have long played an important role in fighting white collar crime -- the FBI, Secret Service, Postal Service and IRS. The report also discusses those agencies whose referrals have increased during the last two decades. To view the report, go to:

Go to http://tracfed.syr.edu/ for more information. TRAC is self-supporting and depends on foundation grants, individual contributions and subscription fees for the funding needed to obtain, analyze and publish the data we collect on the activities of the US Federal government.
