What criminal justice database contains the national sex offender registry?

  1. NCIC

  2. FCIC

  3. NCVS

  4. FBI

The correct answer is: NCIC

The correct answer is NCIC, which stands for the National Crime Information Center. This database is managed by the FBI and contains a variety of criminal justice information, including the national sex offender registry. The NCIC provides law enforcement agencies across the country access to critical data that aids in investigations, such as outstanding warrants, stolen property, and sex offender registries. By including this information, NCIC plays a pivotal role in public safety and crime prevention efforts. In contrast, the Florida Crime Information Center (FCIC) is a state-level database that includes information similar to what is found in the NCIC but is specific to the state of Florida. The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) focuses on crime victim data and does not serve as a criminal justice database. While the FBI is the agency that oversees NCIC, it is not itself a database but rather the organization that manages and operates it.
