Asked a year ago
The FBI investigates a wide range of crimes that fall within its jurisdiction. Some of the primary focus areas include terrorism, cybercrime, organized crime, public corruption, civil rights violations, white-collar crime, and major thefts or violent crimes. The FBI's counterterrorism efforts involve investigating both domestic and international terrorism threats, while their cybercrime investigations cover various online criminal activities such as hacking, data breaches, and online fraud. Organized crime investigations target groups involved in activities such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering. The FBI also looks into corruption cases involving government officials or law enforcement personnel. Additionally, the agency addresses civil rights violations to ensure equal treatment and protects against hate crimes. Combating white-collar crime, including corporate fraud and insider trading, is another crucial area of FBI investigation. Overall, the FBI's mandate covers a diverse range of offenses to uphold national security and public safety.
