Description: "Provides practitioners and others interested in the federal criminal justice system with a comprehensive analysis of the arsenal of federal laws that provide federal prosecutors the means to combat criminal organizations, both their leadership, i.e., the so-called 'kingpins,' and their infrastructure. The treatise includes an analysis of the principal legal issues that federal prosecutors and defense attorneys confront in litigating complex criminal cases. Finally, because organized criminal enterprises respect no national boundaries, the treatise includes a comprehensive discussion of important international criminal law issues, including extraterritorial jurisdiction and extradition"--Unedited summary from book cover.
