TRAC Releases New Findings on FBI Prosecutions

The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC)
at Syracuse University has released the new edition of
its FBI Web Site. According to the report's latest findings,
federal prosecutors have rejected 87% of the FBI's referrals
on international terrorism in the first nine months of FY 2006.
The report also concludes that FBI investigations of all kinds
have consistently resulted in fewer federal prosecutions.

The site includes detailed graphs and tables that 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.
