National Study of Law Enforcement Agencies' Policies Regarding Missing Children and Homeless Youth, 1986
Description
The purpose of the study was to provide information about
law enforcement agencies' handling of missing child cases, including
the rates of closure for these cases, agencies' initial investigative
procedures for handling such reports, and obstacles to investigation.
Case types identified include runaway, parental abduction, stranger
abduction, and missing for unknown reasons. Other key variables provide
information about the existence and types of policies within law
enforcement agencies regarding missing child reports, such as a waiting
period and classification of cases. The data also contain information
about the cooperation of and use of the National Center of Missing and
Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the National Crime Information Center
(NCIC).
