Debbie Smith Act

The Debbie Smith Act is a law that helps the police and the FBI (which is like a big team of police that works all over the country) to find people who commit crimes like murder and rape. Sometimes, when a bad person does one of these crimes, they leave some of their DNA (which is like a tiny bit of their body) at the scene. The Debbie Smith Act gives money to the police and FBI so they can test this DNA and find out who did the crime. This helps to catch the bad person and make sure they are punished for what they did. The Debbie Smith Act is important because it helps keep people safe and makes sure that bad people are caught and held responsible for their actions.
