Abstract

This article addresses the policy question: should the United States adopt a national substantive criminal code for serious offenses? Strangely enough, this issue has never been thoroughly considered. The author suggests that the current mobility of Americans requires a fresh look at the many issues involved, a number of which are raised and discussed. His conclusion is that careful consideration of the desirability and feasibility of a national code is now overdue.
