Prosecution of Adam Walsh Act violations is carried out by which office?

• A. US Department of Justice
• B. US Attorney General's Office
• C. US Attorney's Office
• D. Office of the Inspector General

Answer: (C)

Federal prosecutions for offenses created by the Adam Walsh Act are handled by United States Attorneys' Offices in the federal districts. These offices prosecute cases in federal courts on behalf of the United States, operating under the supervision of the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice itself oversees and directs federal prosecutions, but it is not the entity that directly prosecutes in court. The Office of the Inspector General conducts investigations and audits, not prosecutions. The term “US Attorney’s Office” refers to the specific district offices that actually bring charges and try cases, which is why this is the correct answer.
