I ask this becuase I am very interested in the FBI as a career, and sociology and abnormal psychology fascinate me to no end.
I was wondering if the FBI had a "task force" (if that's the right terminology), for harmful groups. for example, do they have a team that has the sole purpose of shutting down groups like Heaven's Gate, Hells Angels, Manson Family, or people like Roch Theriault.
do they count as counter-terrorism? counter-psychotic people? or do those kinds of cases belong to another federal agency?

Technically,they can handle anything that is a violation of federal law, but they restrict themselves to racketering/mob activity,kidnappings, anti-terrorist activity, civil rghts violations, etc.

From what I have noticed about the FBI is that they are usually looking for laptops, guns and vehicles that have been stolen from them right under their noses
Check out the CIA, I think they have a better rep
