Proving Federal Crimes
The first book ever written for both
law enforcement agents and litigators

 

 

 

From 1954-1981 the Department of Justice published seven editions of Proving Federal Crimes (PFC). But in the twenty years since the book was last published by DOJ, much more than just the law has changed. Now, federal agents and prosecutors work together at the inception of the investigation, and 80% of the federal prosecutor's job takes place before entering the courtroom. This private commercial edition of PFC is the first book ever written for both law enforcement agents and litigators.

Beginning with structuring the investigation, PFC devotes the first ten chapters to evidence-gathering techniques and then takes agents and litigators, step by step, through the grand jury and the trial. PFC contains materials from federal law enforcement agency manuals, the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual, the Federal Judges' Benchbook, and material from federal defenders’ publications.
