State and Federal Authority in Criminal Law

Описание: Most crimes, including serious crimes like murder, are handled at the local state level. The 10th Amendment reserves police powers for the states so their authority cannot be usurped by the federal government. When is a local crime also subject to federal jurisdiction?

Rachel Paulose served as a United States Attorney in Minnesota from 2006 to 2008.

As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
