Publisher's Synopsis
The Fifth Edition is an entire reworking of this classic casebook. Beyond its traditional role in teaching a broad-gauge federal criminal law course, the book is highly appropriate to use for white collar crime courses; for example, fraud materials focus on business practices uncovered in the current economic meltdown. New chapters include Plea Bargaining, Cooperation Agreements and Conspiracy. All of the chapters have been substantially revamped, reflecting recent Supreme Court rulings, new case law and statutory changes. The authors are proud to announce the addition of a new co-author, Professor Susan R. Klein of the University of Texas Law School.
