Federal crimes often receive more vigorous prosecution and carry stiffer penalties than state crimes. Plus, the prosecution’s team, including federal law enforcement, are often more professional than state authorities. White-collar crimes become federal cases for a number of reasons:- A violation of a federal statute or against a federal agency – e.g., securities fraud, regulated by the federal Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
- A crime accomplished through the means of a federal agency – e.g., mail fraud using the U.S. Postal Service
- A crime committed on federal property – e.g., a shooting at a federal building or in a national park
- A crime that crosses state lines – e.g., fraud committed over the phone from one state to another
