Thirty law enforcement treaties were being considered by the Committee in these hearings: 13 extradition treaties, 16 mutual legal assistance treaties, and 1 prisoner transfer treaty. All of these are designed to further law enforcement interests and generally enjoy bipartisan support. These treaties serve to create a web of relationships that make it increasingly difficult for criminals to find a safe haven from prosecution. Witnesses: Jamison S. Borek, Deputy Legal Advisor, U.S. Department of State, and Mark M. Richard, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Div., U.S. Dept. of Justice.

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 2010 This is the final Edition, there will be no further updates for this series.
