In today’s “flatter” world, the most serious criminal activity affecting the United States is increasingly transnational, thereby requiring the active assistance of other countries to combat it. The United States only relatively recently has dealt with this problem by entering into a growing number of bilateral and multilateral treaties, agreements, and formal and informal law enforcement arrangements. This treatise, designed for prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges and academics, is written by the former Department of Justice official responsible for supervising the implementation and design of United States treaties and statutes as it began to cope with this explosion of transnational criminal activity. It describes and analyzes in detail the legal aspects of, and operation under, these treaties, statutes, and other measures.Additional titles by Michael Abbell include: • International Prisoner Transfer 2010• Extradition to and from the United States 2010This is the final Edition, there will be no further updates for this series.

In 1825, the U.S. Supreme Court stated: “The Courts of no country execute the penal laws of another.” One hundred and fifty one years later, in a very different world, the United States signed prisoner transfer treaties with its neighbours, Canada and Mexico. Today, through additional bilateral treaties and multilateral treaties negotiated under the auspices of the Council of Europe and the Organization of American States, the United States has prisoner transfer treaty relations with 77 countries. This treatise, designed for prosecutors, defense attorneys and academics, describes in detail the legal basis and operation under these treaties from the perspective of the United States by the former Department of Justice official responsible for their initial implementation.Additional titles by Michael Abbell include:• Extradition to and from the United States 2010• Obtaining Evidence Abroad in Criminal Cases 2010This is the final Edition, there will be no further updates for this series.

As recently as the early 1970s, the United States typically made and received only 40 requests for international extradition per year. As the world has become “flatter”, there has been a concomitant explosion in transnational criminal activity to which the United States has had to respond. In 2008 alone, 589 people were extradited to it and many others extradited by it. The treatise is designed for prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges and academics. Written by the former Department of Justice official responsible for implementation of United States extradition statutes and treaties as it began designing the mechanisms to cope with the explosion of transnational criminal activity, it analyzes in detail the legal aspects of, and operation under, those statutes and treaties.Additional titles by Michael Abbell include:• International Prisoner Transfer 2010• Obtaining Evidence Abroad in Criminal Cases 2010This is the final Edition, there will be no further updates for this series.
