Title: Federal Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction: Legislation in the 109th Congress
Authors: Charles Doyle, American Law Division 
Abstract: Proposals introduced during the 109th Congress, that contain extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction components, took several forms. Some created or would have created new crimes with an overseas element. Others created or would have created new crimes and simply stated that they are to have overseas application. Still others created or would have created new crimes and articulated specific circumstances under which they apply abroad. And yet others would have expand existing statements of extraterritorial jurisdiction for existing crimes to enlarge the circumstances under which they apply.
