Contents
The Bush administration requested a comprehensive crime bill that would expand the death penalty for federal crimes, reform habeas corpus , limit plea bargaining, revise exclusionary rule, and strengthen penalties for the use of firearms in the commission of a crime. Not all of the sought-after provisions were enacted, but the act made major changes in the areas of child abuse, sexual abuse penalties, victims' rights, and the enforcement of drug laws.
