Securities Crimes, 2d is written with Marvin G. Pickholz, Peter J. Henning, and Jason R. Pickholz, who are among the leading practitioners and academics in the field of securities law. Their treatise provides a thorough review of the application of the securities laws and other criminal statutes in prosecutions, along with in-depth consideration of how the law is applied in civil enforcement proceedings.

There has been a significant expansion in the number of prosecutors and SEC attorneys devoted to enforcement, and recent cases have seen the development of new investigative techniques.
