TY - JOUR PY - 1974// TI - Should the United States adopt a national substantive criminal code for serious offenses? JO - Journal of criminal justice A1 - Myren, Richard A. SP - 103 EP - 111 VL - 2 IS - 2 N2 - This article addresses the policy question: should the United States adopt a national substantive criminal code for serious offenses? Strangely enough, this issue has never been thoroughly considered. The author suggests that the current mobility of Americans requires a fresh look at the many issues involved, a number of which are raised and discussed. His conclusion is that careful consideration of the desirability and feasibility of a national code is now overdue.
