While people may have seen individuals with a jacket that reads "ATF Agent", they may have only a vague understanding of what the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) does. As a law enforcement agency within the United States Department of Justice, the ATF is "dedicated to preventing terrorism, reducing violent crime, and protecting our Nation." On the homepage, users can read about their latest work and activities through a variety of press releases divided into sections such as "Violent Crimes" and "Gangs". The site also has a "Field Divisions" area, where users can learn about the activities of the field offices from Maine to Los Angeles. Criminologists and others may want to visit the "Publications" area for some of their latest findings. Here, visitors can look over reports such as annual accountability reports and newsletters.
