Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress in the latter part of the nineteenth century decided to enact a series of statutes facilitating state enforcement of their respective criminal laws. Subsequently, Congress enacted statutes federalizing what had been solely state crimes, thereby establishing federal court and state court concurrent jurisdiction over these crimes. Federalization of state crimes has been criticized by numerous scholars, U.S. Supreme Court justices, and national organizations. Such federalization has congested the calendars of the U.S. District Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals leading to delays in civil cases because of the Speedy TrialAct that vacates a criminal indictment if a trial is not commenced within a specific number of days, resulted in over-crowded U.S. penitentiaries, and raises the issue of double jeopardy that is prohibited by the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the constitution of each state. This book examines the impact of federalization of state crime and draws conclusions regarding its desirability. It also offers recommendations directed to Congress and the President, one recommendation direct to state legislatures for remedial actions to reduce the undesirable effects of federalized state crimes, and one recommendation that Congress and all states enter into a federal-interstate criminal suppression compact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal Criminal Law and Procedure, Vol. 1 of 3 Almost fifty years ago the Law School of Harvard University, in 1872-73, invited Benjamin R. Curtis, who had been a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to deliver a course of lectures before its students on the Jurisdiction, Practice and Peculiar Jurisprudence of the Courts of the United States. He began that course of lectures by saying that when he came to the bar, forty years before, there were comparatively few cases tried in the courts of the United States. The practice, he said, was then in the hands of a few leaders of the bar in the great cities or the large towns where the courts were held, and gentlemen of the bar residing elsewhere did not trouble themselves to acquire any knowledge, or they acquired but very slight knowledge, concerning either the jurisdiction or practice of those courts. In truth "they had nothing to do with them except, perhaps, in some accidental way." He then proceeded to explain that because of the extension of the powers of Congress over many subjects previously left to the exclusive legislation of the States, and for other reasons which will readily suggest themselves, the business of the courts of the United States had greatly increased and they were likely in the future to operate with greater efficiency. He therefore impressed upon the students that if they neglected to inform themselves concerning the peculiar jurisprudence of the United States courts they would disregard important means of usefulness and success. The increase in the amount of litigation in the courts referred to, and the importance of that litigation, have advanced in the years that have passed since the statement referred to was made and in far greater proportion than in the period between 1832 and 1872 to which Judge Curtis referred. That this would be so he predicted and the facts have more than justified it. The prediction has been fulfilled both as respects the civil and the criminal jurisdiction of the courts.
