Report to the Illinois General Assembly on Missing Young Adults

This report to the Illinois General Assembly summarizes the results of a six-month investigation into a wide range of topics concerning missing young adults. Data from the NLSY, in conjunction with other information sources, were used to study the unique problems of missing 17 to 21 year-olds. Recommendations include: (1) immediate and official elimination of the so-called "24-hour rule" for delaying action in a missing persons report; (2) computer entry regarding a missing person as soon as all information needed to make the entry has been collected; (3) enhancing current law enforcement systems so they will have more precise and more useful statistics about missing persons; (4) redirecting efforts to develop a profile toward improved and faster information gathering by police.
