Federal Criminal Law and Its Enforcement (American Casebook Series)

The Seventh Edition of this classic casebook, which is designed to teach a broad-coverage federal criminal law course, is also well-suited for teaching white collar crime offerings.

• recent college basketball recruiting and athletic admissions scandals;
• the opioid crisis as illustrated by a "pill mill" case in which a physician operating a pain management clinic arranged with a pharmacist to fill oxycodone prescriptions;
• obstruction of justice questions that arose in the special counsel investigation relating to the administration of President Donald Trump;
• possible political interference in federal prosecutors' decision-making;
• shootings in the U.S. involving or akin to terrorism;
• enforcement of immigration crimes―addressed in a new casebook chapter;
• the latest criminal justice reform legislation, the First Step Act.
