Abstract | [Extract] This chapter provides an overview of the growing area of federal criminal law. The growth of the criminal law of the Commonwealth is a recent phenomenon. Historically, the criminal jurisdiction of the Commonwealth was primarily confined to areas of law that were clearly and directly linked to a limited range of enumerated powers within the Constitution. It was (and is) necessary for any system of law to have a range of civil and criminal sanctions attached to it in order to be enforceable. This chapter will discuss how the Commonwealth's jurisdiction over crime began slowly, expanding rapidly during World War I and II, and then growing substantially from the late 1980s. With the advent of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) (the Criminal Code), the criminal law of the Commonwealth has grown exponentially. |
