Synopsis "Extraterritorial Application of U. S. Criminal Law: Policies and Proposals (Law, Crime and law Enforcement) (in English)"

Criminal law is usually territorial. It is a matter of the law of the place where it occurs. Nevertheless, a number of American criminal laws apply outside of the United States. Application is generally a question of legislative intent, expressed or implied. In either case, it most often involves crimes committed aboard a ship or aeroplane, crimes condemned by international treaty, crimes relating to government employees or property overseas, or crimes that have an impact in this country even if planned or committed in part elsewhere. This book discusses the laws and policy surrounding extraterritorial jurisdiction and proposals for furthering accountability.
