Over-federalization of criminal law

This article criticizing the expansion of the federal criminal law cites, among other authorities, a 1995 article from Professor Jeffries of the University of Virginia, who concluded that "federal prosecutors can conduct organized crime investigations more quickly, bring more charges, and win more convictions than state and local authorities" due to "features of federal law [that] combine to give federal prosecutors enormous advantages over their state and local counterparts."
