This data sheet provides a brief explanation and four charts on missing persons incidents for Native Americans under the age of 21.
This data sheet provides information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Missing Person File, for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) ages 21 and under. The data included in this document cover incidents of a person going missing, not the number of people who went missing, so if a person went missing more than once in one year, that person may be entered into the NCIC multiple times. The four charts provided depict: a pie chart of missing males, ages younger than 12, ages 12 to 17, ages 18 to 20, and 21 and older; a pie chart of missing females, ages younger than 12, ages 12 to 17, ages 18 to 20, and 21 and older; a bar chart with side-by-side comparison of female and male entries in NCIC for 2022; and a pie chart of total male and female entries for missing AI/AN persons, based on age, which shows that 65 percent of entries for missing persons are for minors between 12 and 17 years old.
