The FBI is like trans-fat. One does not know if it is involved in the latest nightmarish crime until one reads about it or is informed through the media. Therefore, the safest assumption, is that if the crime was devastating, the FBI was involved. July 20th of 2012 at 12:30am, James Holmes marked the deadliest shooting in Colorado since the Columbine High School massacre. April 15th of 2013 marks the Boston Marathon bombing that killed 3 people and injured an estimated 264 others. In May of 2013, Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight, and Gina DeJesus were rescued from Ariel Castro 's horrific torture. All of these cases involved the FBI. Without the help of the FBI many of the secrets these cases kept, would still be unknown, making it so that the

One of them being cybercrime. Parents are not always able to monitor their children while they are on the internet; this leaves it to the FBI to make sure that these children are safe and are not in danger. Some of the many dangers these children could possibly face are, being solicited by an adult, identity theft, and exposure to indecent material. Another malicious act the FBI investigates is terrorism. Even the smallest security threat could unwind into the most calamitous act of terrorism since 9/11. A terrorist attack is defined as "A surprise attack involving the deliberate use of violence against civilians in the hope of attaining political or religious aims."; this goes against the purpose of the U.S. constitution. Therefore, abiding by the first amendment that protects freedom of religion in turn honors the U.S. 's duty to insure domestic tranquility. The FBI also treats all people as equals. An example of this equality is when the FBI investigates White-Collar crimes. White-Collar crimes are financially motivated nonviolent crimes committed by business and government professionals. The term White-Collar crime was first introduced by sociologist Edwin Sutherland in 1939. By introducing this term, Sutherland made the idea that "the wealthy and professional are untouchable" to be false in the eyes of justice. There is more to the FBI; it protects the people more closely than is even expected at most times. …show more content…
is a blessed country to have such a respectable organization looking after it. Furthermore, to provide backup for this conclusion, are a few examples of some work done by the FBI. In 1989, the FBI bugged the house of a suspected Palestinian Liberation Organization member. The suspected member had a rebellious daughter named Tina Isa. When Tina came home on the night of November 6th, 1989, she saw that her parents had been waiting for her. Tina and her father argued and afterwards her father said "Here, listen, my dear daughter, do you know that this is the last day? Tonight, you 're going to die." Unfortunately, no one was monitoring the line that night. She was stabbed 6 times in the chest with a boning knife by her father while her mother held her down. Both parents were sentenced to the death penalty. Tina 's death wasn 't prevented, but her pleas were caught on tape and used against her parents in their prosecution. To more directly help keep citizens informed and safe, the FBI website has a national sex offender list that is accessible to the public. Whether or not it is being used, it does not alter the fact that it is available. There could even be 130 sex offenders in a 3 mile radius of yourself. Recently on June 19th of 2015, the FBI brought down the largest healthcare fraud. Achievements like these are what give people reason to trust in the security of the U.S. Even
