The volume contains two articles on United States Sentencing Commission policies and practices as well as the fifth survey of law on white collar crime. Status reports on and analyses of current statutory and case law relating to each of 21 substantive white collar crimes are provided. Offenses surveyed include such white collar crimes as antitrust violations, bank fraud, conspiracy, Federal food and drug violations, mail and wire fraud, securities fraud, and tax fraud. Procedural issues arising from the investigation, prosecution, and sentencing of white collar crimes are also discussed in detail. The procedural issues included in this volume include administrative summons, attorney-client privilege, discovery, attorney fee forfeiture, fifth amendment limitations on compelled production of evidence, grand jury subpoenas, immunity, initiation of criminal proceedings, parallel civil and criminal suits, and sentencing.
