federal crimes  

Définition(s)

  • Both the state and the federal governments have the authority to define conduct as criminal as well as to prosecute and punish such conduct. The authority of the federal government to establish federal crimes is found in the U.S. Constitution, which identified, or enumerated, certain powers to be within the province of the federal government, while reserving all other powers to the state governments.
